Jessica Phillips Discusses Trial Experiences in Benchmark Litigation Q+A
November 18, 2024
In a wide-ranging interview published on November 18, litigation partner Jessica Phillips spoke with Benchmark Litigation about her approach to trial, recent client achievements and the latest developments in Sines v. Kessler, among other topics. In discussing the importance of building genuine connections as part of preparing witnesses for trial, Jessica notes that “establishing strong relationships with witnesses is key because it allows you to make better game-time decisions at trial, where there is no script and we have no control over when witnesses take the stand.” Jessica also discusses a recent trial win in which she secured a $100 million jury verdict for industry underdog International Construction Products and what lies ahead for Paul, Weiss’s newly-launched Center to Combat Hate, of which she is a founding member.
