Jay Edelson, Founder & CEO of Edelson PC, joins James Burnham to share his journey from working on the defense side work to founding his own plaintiffs’ firm. Edelson discusses how the transition enabled him to take on cases that excited him and where his ideas about the law’s interpretation could be fully explored. The two then consider the legal spaces–including consumer protection and data privacy–where Edelson was able to have a substantial, innovative impact. What blind spots are in the plaintiffs’ bar? What advantages are there in the legal field to having people who approach things differently? Tune in for a discussion on how creative approaches in plaintiffs’ work can reshape legal outcomes and offer lawyers a meaningful, enriching career.
