BUSINESS LITIGATION John O’Connor has
tried over 70 cases in national venues with
enviable success in complex, contentious
disputes. As trial counsel for R.J. Reynolds
Tobacco, he achieved a pretrial dismissal
in each concluded case. A former federal
prosecutor, O’Connor was chosen as
lead outside counsel in certain S&L crisis
litigation, defended a California attorney
general in campaign-related litigation,
and successfully represented NBA
coach Don Nelson in significant contract
disputes. His greatest successes have been
resolving closely held business disputes.
O’Connor emphasizes work with and for
other firms, often co-counseling in trial
and trial preparation strategies, including
assistance in difficult cross-examinations.
He also works as a litigator and expert in
collecting disputed fees, recovering 100
percent of the lodestar in several large
matters. He welcomes collegial association
with regularly retained counsel.
