As part of its Trailblazers series, The National Law Journal spoke to Partner Bruce Tepikian about his work, and he discussed his approach to litigation. "I had a career in the business world before becoming an attorney working closely with in-house and outside counsel. That experience showed me there was a need to be more strategic and candid when confronted with mass tort litigation. When I became a litigator and trial attorney, I focused on both the big picture (when do you file the case-defining motion, in what court do you file it, etc.) as well as the micro issues surrounding how to try the cases. Most importantly, I have always been candid with opposing counsel on the merits of the pending litigation while always being prepared to try the case. Many times, these approaches have resulted in cases being dismissed simply because opposing counsel has recognized they were not viable or settlements were reached on favorable terms for my clients."
