Today we're joined by Majed Nachawati, founder of
the Fears Nachawati firm. Majed is well known as a prominent
complex commercial litigator in the mass tort space and a
leadership firm in emerging torts. Majed's firm is known for
representing both individuals and governmental entities in dockets
such as the opioid litigation, PFAS water contamination, and other
major mass torts. Today we will be discussing three of the most
relevant and prominent dockets in the legal world that impact both
the plaintiff and defense bar.
We engage in direct discussions on the Bayer/
Monsanto US Supreme Court appeal in the Hardeman Roundup verdict,
originating in California State Court. Recently the US Solicitor
General submitted a brief to the Supreme Court advising that
the
US Department of Justice and other federal
agencies are not in favor of participating in the Monsanto-
Hardeman appeal.
We then go into the Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder MDL and
related state court litigation where J&J is using the Texas
Two-Step legal process to file bankruptcy, related to their talcum
powder liabilities, which are expected to exceed $12 billion. Majed
is also a member of the J&J bankruptcy creditor's committee.
Majed also discusses his lead role in the Texas winter freeze
litigation, where the Texas Utility Power Commission and the power
grid tragically failed the citizens of Texas and numerous lives
were lost, properties were destroyed and damaged. Fears Nachawati
was in a leadership role from the outset of the Texas winter freeze
litigation, when they filed the first lawsuit within one week of
the freeze taking place. The claims in this docket relate to the
catastrophic failure of the utility and regulatory entity within
the state of Texas to properly ensure the safety of its
citizens. Majed clearly states that it is his position in the
Texas winter freeze, Monsanto roundup, and the Johnson and Johnson
talcum powder litigation to be an assertive representative of firm
clients in these dockets to hold the corporate parties accountable
for the ongoing and embedded bad conduct, which is clearly evident
in the media and now being shown in a court of law.
