David Zionts Named Litigator of the Week for Monsanto Victory

August 26, 2024, AmLaw Litigation Daily

AmLaw Litigation Daily named David Zionts “Litigator of the Week” for his representation of Monsanto at the Third Circuit in a case where the court held that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempted plaintiffs’ failure-to-warn claims brought under Pennsylvania state law. The decision splits with the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits, which rejected Monsanto’s preemption arguments in earlier Roundup cases.
