Downing appointed to Ascension Health data breach Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee

Don Downing recently was honored by his appointment to leadership in the Ascension Health data breach litigation, currently pending in the United Stated District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri before the Honorable John A. Ross. Don’s tireless advocacy and negotiating skills have resulted in verdicts and settlements of over $3 billion. He has been appointed by multiple federal judges as lead plaintiffs’ counsel to represent tens of thousands of farmers in cases involving defective seed, market disruption based on premature release of genetically modified seed, herbicide drift resulting in crop loss, and government mistakes in loan program payments. Don also has been appointed as class counsel to represent thousands of injured parties against large companies alleged to have engaged in consumer fraud, health care overcharges, and selling defective products. Don looks forward to working with the Ascension Health leadership team to move the litigation forward on behalf of the putative class.
