Bryan Aylstock on Creativity, Collaboration, and the 3M Fight

In this episode of Raising the Bar with RebuttalPR, host Ray DeLorenzi sits down with Bryan Aylstock, Founding Partner of Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz, to talk about his 20-year journey building one of the top mass tort firms in the country. Bryan shares how he pivoted from engineering to law, how he got his start during the Fen-Phen litigation, and why he believes creativity and collaboration are essential in mass torts. He unpacks his leadership in the historic 3M earplug case—from taking the first trial to securing a $6 billion settlement—and explains how he and a team of elite lawyers beat back a pre-planned bankruptcy strategy that threatened hundreds of thousands of veterans’ claims. Bryan also reflects on the role of collegiality in high-stakes litigation, the founding of Trial Lawyers of Complex Litigation, and why protecting the judiciary is one of the most important fights happening in the justice system today. Learn more about Bryan Aylstock and AWKO: https://www.awkolaw.com/
