Called “one of the best trial attorneys in the history of Oregon” by sources in Chambers USA, Stephen English has represented many of the region’s most noted investors as both defense and plaintiffs’ counsel. Nationally, he represents clients in a range of high-profile matters, including cases involving corporate fraud, sports law, technology, and the environment. His successful outcomes on behalf of his clients have included what was then the largest Taft-Hartley settlement in U.S. history. The resolution of this case prompted an invitation for Steve to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions regarding protection of Americans’ pension plans from fraud.
Steve has successfully settled multiple complex matters and received verdicts resulting in seven- and eight-figure settlements. In representing plaintiffs, Stephen has been responsible for recoveries in excess of $400,000,000. In representing defendants, he has successfully defended (either defense verdicts or trial recoveries) well below demands in the hundreds of millions with claims totaling in the hundreds of millions.
Known for simplifying complicated cases and compelling representation, Steve’s trial experience includes business disputes, commercial torts, trade secrets, securities, policyholder disputes, product liability claims, and institutional liability. He also has successfully served as a mediator of last resort in difficult and contentious disputes.
