Previous Episode: Episode 16: The One Where Jay Gets (Even More) Honest
In Episode 17 we meet with John Beisiner, the leader of Skadden’s Mass Torts, Insurance and Consumer Litigation Group. Over the past 35 years, John has defended major U.S. and international corporations in more than 600 class actions filed in federal courts and in 40 state courts at both the trial and appellate levels. While some might believe that Jay, the Founder and CEO of a prominent plaintiff’s firm, and John are mortal enemies, they dive into a spirited discussion about the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA), the “underbelly of the plaintiff’s bar”, and litigation financing.
