DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Olson Grimsley has earned a place on Top 100 Verdicts of 2024 for its groundbreaking $60 million trial victory against Mead Johnson Nutrition, the manufacturer of Enfamil Premature Formula. On March 13, 2024, the company was found liable for negligence and failing to warn of the risk that its cow's milk-based formula could cause necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants. A St. Clair, Ill., jury returned the verdict after less than two hours of deliberation, awarding plaintiff Jasmine Watson $60 million for the loss of her baby, Chance Dean, to NEC. 'This case was about obtaining justice for Jasmine, who will never get her son back,' said Olson Grimsley partner Sean Grimsley, who led the trial team. 'It was also about holding Mead Johnson and other companies accountable for their negligence so that no other family has to endure what the Watsons went through.' The trial was the first among hundreds of lawsuits nationwide claiming the formula caused NEC, an intestinal disease that affects mostly premature babies. The Olson Grimsley trial team of Mr. Grimsley, partner Kenzo Kawanabe, partner Abby Hinchcliff, associate Samara Hoose and litigation manager Beth Costner served as lead trial counsel, partnering with Ben Whiting and Amelia Frankel of Keller Postman LLC and Dave Cates of The Cates Law Firm, LLC.

Two Olson Grimsley Lawyers Named Rising Stars of the Plaintiffs Bar by The National Law Journal
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National boutique law firm Olson Grimsley is pleased to announce that partner Jason Murray and associate Isabel Broer have been named to The National Law Journal's 2025 Rising Stars of the Plaintiffs Bar. The National Law Journal describes honorees as 'a select group of young lawyers who are up-and-comers in the plaintiffs bar, already demonstrating their litigation prowess, service to the community, and/or impact on their firm.' Mr. Murray and Ms. Broer are two of only 18 honorees listed from across the United States. 'We are so pleased to see The National Law Journal recognize Jason and Isabel in this way,' said Olson Grimsley co-founder Kenzo Kawanabe. 'Not only are they incredibly talented litigators, but their commitment to their responsibility as advocates for our clients is apparent in everything they do.' An Olson Grimsley founder, Mr. Murray is a nationally recognized trial and appellate lawyer. He played a key role in the 2024 Colorado ballot access case against Donald Trump, presenting arguments before the Colorado Supreme Court, which declared Trump ineligible to appear on the ballot under the 14th Amendment. He then argued the case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Mr. Murray also co-led a landmark trial against Zantac manufacturers GSK and Boehringer Ingelheim, securing a confidential settlement with GSK and trying the case against Boehringer Ingelheim to a hung jury. Before co-founding Olson Grimsley, Mr. Murray was a partner at Bartlit Beck LLP and clerked for Justice Elena Kagan of the U.S. Supreme Court. He also clerked for Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was then on the Tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Ms. Broer is a highly skilled litigator and Olson Grimsley's only founding associate. In 2024, she helped secure a more than $20 million judgment against Johns Manville for unlawfully monopolizing the market for calcium silicate pipe insulation. She also worked with Mr. Murray as a key member of the trial team against Zantac manufacturers. Before joining Olson Grimsley, Ms. Broer was a senior assistant attorney general in the Colorado Attorney General's Office. She played key roles in 303 Creative v. Elenis at the U.S. Supreme Court and in a groundbreaking Colorado Supreme Court case. Her work earned her the Attorney General's DEI Champion and Rookie of the Year awards. Ms. Broer also clerked for Judge Christine Arguello of the U.S. District Court of Colorado and for Justice Monica Márquez of the Colorado Supreme Court.
