Bio soon to be updated
In June 2022, after an eight-week employment retaliation and sexual harassment jury trial involving two former employees of Edison International and Southern California Edison Company, David deRubertis and co-counsel Brennan Kahn secured a combined verdict of $464.5 million dollars.The jury awarded Alfredo Martinez $422.5 million – including $400 million in punitive damages – the largest employment jury verdict in U.S. history and the largest jury verdict in California in 2022 for any kind of case.The jury also awarded Justin Page $42.2 million – believed to the largest male survivor sexual harassment verdict at least in California history.This was not an easy, cherry-picked case.Rather, this landmark verdict was achieved through navigating tremendous obstacles – obstacles that led national employment defense firm Littler and its sophisticated corporate clients to offer no more than a combined $425,000 via statutory offer to compromise.Citing alleged credibility issues with the plaintiffs, claimed bombshell “impeachment” evidence against one of the plaintiffs, and a malingering diagnosis against one of the plaintiffs supported by psychological testing, the defense believed the case was defensible.
In this two-day session, deRubertis will teach and demonstrate the methods he has developed in over two decades of achieving record-setting employment verdicts to try challenging employment cases … not the cherry-picked easy ones but the ones that have warts, obstacles and land mines in them.The core purpose of this session is to show and teach how to win challenging employment cases by telling a story that focuses the jury on the core strengths of the case while accounting for, and dealing with, the obstacles and landmines.The session will cover deRubertis’ general approaches and methods to trying employment cases, and these methods will be illustrated through the specific analysis of the Edison trial. Limited to 25 attendees, the session is intended to be interactive and frequent questions and interactive feedback and discussion.
Attendees will learn topics, methods and techniques such as:
