About Paul Pennock
Paul Pennock is one of the country's most accomplished mass tort litigators, with more than a billion dollars in recoveries and a 2025 induction into the mass tort and MDL litigators Hall of Fame. Before joining Morgan & Morgan he chaired one of Weitz & Luxenberg's national litigation practice groups for two decades. As co-lead of the federal Actos MDL he helped drive litigation that produced a $9 billion jury verdict, at the time the largest in history for a personal injury lawsuit, and he later served as national co-lead counsel in the power morcellator MDL, where he organized the first majority-women plaintiffs' steering committee in MDL history. His current work includes holding accountable businesses that profit from sex trafficking and the opioid trade.
Proven verdicts and settlements
Paul Pennock, now head of mass torts at Morgan & Morgan, then co-lead counsel of the federal Actos MDL at Weitz & Luxenberg, helped try the bellwether case that produced a $9 billion punitive verdict against Takeda and Eli Lilly for hiding the diabetes drug's bladder cancer risk. The award was later cut to about $36.9 million, but the verdict drove Takeda to a $2.4 billion global settlement in 2015.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
