From Forbes.com: "Can You Say Tort?" by Michael Freedman--
58-year-old lawyer [Michael Hausfeld] is building an international network of plaintiff lawyers in such diverse places as Great Britain, India, Panama and South Africa. The goal: to export U.S.-style litigation tactics, including contingency fees and class actions, throughout the world. In coming months, he says, he and allied lawyers in various countries plan to file antitrust, product liability, securities and human rights cases.
While Hausfeld is exporting cases, some lawyers are importing them. An example is Ron Motley, another well-known plaintiffs' lawyer, as illustrated by an article in Forward, "Israeli Terror Victims to Sue Arab Bank in America," by Marc Perelman.
It's more proof that top plaintiffs' lawyers always stay one step ahead of the pack. In this case, the pack is off chasing Vioxx cases.
