Chalos, Managing Partner of the Nashville office of the national plaintiffs' law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, announces the publication of a book he co-authored, "Litigating International Torts in United States Courts, 2015 ed." The publisher is Thomson (News - Alert) Reuters, which is among the largest legal publishers in the world. Initially published in 2012, the book has been updated and re-released annually. The book is a practical resource for practitioners and judges involved in lawsuits in U.S. federal and state courts that involve international parties or arise from international conduct. The book provides forms, practice pointers, and legal analysis of the key issues that frequently arise in these cases. The new edition includes new court cases, new forms, and new analysis. "As the world shrinks, practitioners and judges increasingly face complex international issues in everyday litigation," Chalos said. "The 2015 edition contains updated analysis and forms, with discussions of new developments in case law and statutes." Some of the key features of the work include:
An experienced trial lawyer and member of Lieff Cabraser for over a decade, Chalos has successfully represented clients in a wide-range of cases, including individuals who suffered catastrophic injuries, consumers sold defective products, and patients prescribed dangerous medications or who received defective medical devices. Chalos has also represented employees in whistleblower cases and businesses in commercial litigation, including a case that resulted in an $8 million arbitration award for a business client. Chalos currently serves in the court-appointed leadership in the federal litigation arising out of the deadly fungal meningitis outbreak from contaminated steroid injections that caused the deaths of 64 patients and sickened more than 750 nationwide, including causing the deaths of 16 Tennesseans. The professional recognition Chalos has received includes being selected as a "Best Lawyer" by Best Lawyers for his work in mass torts and class actions, being rated a "Mid-South Super Lawyer" by Super Lawyers, and being named to the Nashville Business Journal's "Best of the Bar."
