The American Lawyer named Virginia Seitz its “Litigator of the Week” for her role on the team representing Bayer Corp. before the Illinois Supreme Court in high-stakes litigation involving the Essure birth control device. The court reversed decisions by both the appellate and circuit courts and dismissed the claims by out-of-state plaintiffs, ruling that they “identified no jurisdictionally relevant links between their claims and Illinois.”
Virginia argued the case in the Illinois Supreme Court and played a significant role in the Sidley team’s legal strategy and motions practice for this case. The full Sidley team included Supreme Court and Appellate partners Jonathan F. Cohn and Erika L. Maley, Products Liability partners Elizabeth C. Curtin and Michelle A. Ramirez, and associates Daniel J. Hay and Christopher A. Eiswerth.
