IRVINE,
Calif., Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Nationwide employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is pleased to announce
the addition of Leo Norton as
a principal in the firm's Orange
County office. Norton joins Jackson
Lewis from Cooley LLP, bringing nearly 23 years of
experience in class action, commercial and appellate
litigation.
"Leo's move from Cooley to Jackson
Lewis is a significant milestone for our firm, particularly
within our Class Actions and Complex Litigation group," said
Mia Farber, David R. Golder and Eric R. Magnus, co-leaders of the group.
"His extensive experience with intricate class action cases aligns
perfectly with our strategic approach and robust national
resources. We are excited to welcome him aboard, confident that his
skills will significantly bolster our capabilities and reinforce
our leadership in defending high-stakes lawsuits."
Leo has extensive experience defending against both nationwide
and statewide consumer class actions under a range of statutes,
including the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, California
Unfair Competition Law, California False Advertising Law, the Song
Beverly Credit Card Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FACTA).
He also handles cases related to the Americans with Disabilities
Act, California's Unruh Act,
California wage and hour class
actions, and PAGA.
In addition to his class action experience, Leo is well-versed
in a variety of commercial and complex business disputes, including
claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, privacy issues,
negligence, fraud, products liability, indemnity and
unjust enrichment. His appellate practice includes representing
clients in civil writs and appeals before both California and federal appellate courts,
contributing to several published decisions.
"Leo's transition to Jackson
Lewis is a key indicator of the firm's ability to attract
top-tier legal talent throughout our seven California offices," said Orange County Office
Managing Principal Alison L.
Lynch. "With his extensive class actions experience and
diverse background, Leo will be a tremendous asset to our
Orange County team. We are
confident his contributions will be pivotal in enhancing our
litigation capabilities and bolstering our presence throughout
California. We are excited to
welcome Leo to Jackson Lewis."
Leo earned his J.D. from Loyola Law School Los Angeles and his
B.S. from the University of Southern
California.
Jackson Lewis has significantly
bolstered its presence in California, a crucial market for the firm.
Over the past year, the firm has welcomed high-profile lateral
hires from competitors, each bringing extensive experience in class
action and PAGA claims. With many of Jackson Lewis' clients and a substantial portion
of its class action work based in California, the firm is dedicated to expanding
