Riceland Foods Jury Trial: Along with a team of attorneys, Chris tried a four-week jury trial in Arkansas state court on behalf of firm client, Riceland Foods, Inc. The trial was the culmination of years of work by the legal team that defended Riceland Foods on multiple litigation fronts, including defense of multiple class action lawsuits in Arkansas, classes of farmers consolidated in an MDL in the Eastern District of Missouri, and several European Union customers suing in federal court. The Riceland legal team’s strategy reversed Riceland’s defensive position by asserting a cross-claim against a co-defendant resulting in $136.9 million jury verdict for Riceland.
