"Judge refuses to disqualify leading opponents of J&J's talc bankruptcy plan" & "UPDATE 1 - Judge refuses to disqualify leading opponents of J&J's talc bankruptcy plan"

This article is in relation to Johnson & Johnson’s Talc-based powder products litigation where, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Jeffrey Pollock of Fox Rothschild represented Beasley Allen law firm. Judge Porto rebuffed Johnson & Johnson's attempt to disqualify Beasley Allen from representing plaintiffs in the talc litigation, ruling that J&J had presented no credible basis or evidence for its claims of an "unethical alliance" in the litigation team, or any disclosures of confidential information. This significant victory allows Beasley Allen to continue seeking justice for thousands of individuals and families affected by J&J's talc-based powders, marking a setback for J&J as it aimed to resolve over 60,000 claims with a $6.48 billion bankruptcy plan.
