The Daily Journal highlights her role as co-lead national counsel for Johnson & Johnson in more than 600 opioid cases in federal and state courts, as well as lead counsel for the United States Olympic Committee in multiple cases related to alleged sexual abuse of former Olympic athletes.
Managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office, Ms. Polashuk's practice sits at the center of the pay-television evolution. She handles licensing and distribution of television networks and video programming across a variety of platforms, including cable, satellite, and "over the top" mobile and broadband technologies.
