Beating Ford in Detroit
John is joined by Dan Webb, the Co-Executive Chairman of Winston & Strawn, LLP and one of the most distinguished trial lawyers in the United States. John and Dan discuss how Dan recently won a $104.6 million verdict against Ford Motors in a trade secret case in Detroit. They discuss how Dan selected a jury in a city where the most of the jury pool has a direct connection to the other side and how he made complex technical issues simple for a jury through careful storytelling and visual aids. They also discuss how to stay on top of the trial lawyer game even after several decades of unparalleled success.
