Our Litigator of the Week award goes to Davis Wright Tremaine’s John DiLorenzo Jr., who scored a $1 billion jury verdict on behalf of rural counties and local taxing districts in Oregon.
In a class action against the state, DiLorenzo’s clients claimed that Oregon mismanaged state forests by failing to harvest enough timber, in violation of a longstanding statutory contract.
