Oct 27 Love0 October 27, 2021 Congrats to Andy Ryan of Ryan Law Partners, LLC, Josh Carlin of Hanson Curran, LLP and the entire Southwest Airlines trial team for their defense jury verdict in Rhode Island. This case was brought by 2 TSA employees over carbon monoxide exposure at the Providence airport. While the jury found the airport owner/operator negligent and awarded $26M, they got it completely right by deciding that Southwest was not negligent at all. Andy Ryan is a courtroom master who stuck to the trial themes and focused the jury on our key messages. On behalf of the Bloom team, it was a pleasure and privilege to play a role in this success story. Lastly, as always, kudos to the trial jury for weeks of time and service, as well as the Court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving forward. By Kelli Love News
Sep 13 Love0 September 13, 2021 Congrats to Peter Prynkiewicz, Shawn Oller, and the entire team from Littler Mendelson, PC as well as Southwest Airlines on their defense verdict in an employment trial in Phoenix, AZ. This case involved claims of gender discrimination and retaliation by a female former employee. Interestingly, this unanimous verdict came from a jury comprised of 6 females and 1 male, demonstrating that demographics such as gender are not entirely predictive in jury selection. It was a privilege to play a role in this success story. And, as always, kudos to the jury for their service. By Kelli Love News
