Inside the Nation’s Largest Mesothelioma Practice

video preview

Asbestos litigation looks attractive from the outside. High stakes. High value. Limited volume.

The reality is far more demanding.

This week on The Jon & Marc Podcast, we sat down with Sara Salger and Chris Layloff of The Gori Law Firm, the top filer of mesothelioma cases in the country, to unpack what it actually takes to handle asbestos litigation at scale.

In this episode, Sara and Chris share how they:

🏢 Scaled from a 16-person team to nearly 200 without cutting corners

⚖️ Move mesothelioma cases faster than most mass torts

🫁 Handle lung cancer claims alongside mesothelioma cases

🧴 Navigate talc exposure and its impact on asbestos litigation

💰 Manage the real economics behind seven-figure cases

⏱️ Execute intake and fast-track cases when time is the biggest constraint

If asbestos referrals ever cross your desk, or if you want a clearer picture of why so few firms succeed in this space, this episode is essential listening.
