Proskauer Rose
Proskauer Rose’s Bart Williams is one of the nation’s most sought after trial lawyers. A leader within the firm, Williams is chair of the firm’s Litigation Department and serves as head of Proskauer’s Los Angeles office. A strategic, diligent and persuasive litigator with a wealth of experience across commercial litigation, white collar criminal defense and internal corporate investigations, Williams is equally expert at counseling clients on the management of their most complex litigation crises and trying their most important cases before juries and judges.
Williams secured a landmark victory for Monsanto in a case brought by a woman claiming that use of the herbicide Roundup caused her non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. A California jury rejected the claims, returning a defense verdict on all counts. The jury concluded that Roundup did not cause the woman’s cancer, and that Roundup performs safely and does not pose a cancer risk.
