Background

About Theodore Grossman

A trial and appellate lawyer with an unbroken record of victories spanning decades, I have been named on the short list of the country's top trial lawyers by Law360, Benchmark Litigation, The National Law Journal, and many others.My practice covers commercial litigation, class actions (I successfully defend the largest commercial class action in U.S. history), and mass tort product liability (Japan's Nikkei newspapers called me "the top product liability lawyer in the United States"). In commercial cases, I represent corporate plaintiffs and defendants, with uniform success in both. In a recent two-month tabloid-frenzied trial, I obtained an injunction against Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and a judgment for tortious interference against J.C. Penney for its enticement of Martha Stewart to breach Macy's contractual exclusivity. For many years, I have served as R.J. Reynolds' lead outside counsel, helping guide it through successive waves of mass individual and novel aggregated litigation. In regulatory and constitutional litigation, he has served as lead counsel in cases brought by or against virtually every federal department. I regularly advise boards, CEOs, and general counsel of leading clients.I am a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the American Law Institute. I was profiled in the National Law Review's "Winning" supplement (as a "shutout" pitcher turned to for difficult cases) and in its "Defense Verdicts of the Year." I have appeared on the CBS Evening News, ABC World News, many other media, and was recently profiled in Crain's Cleveland Business ("King of the Court").
