His peers have rated him AV Preeminent, the highest possible rating by Martindale-Hubbell. And most recently, in the National Prescription Opiate and Pharmacy Litigation MDL, Mr. Mougey was selected to serve as Co-Lead of the Distributor and Pharmacy cases and serves on the Plaintiff’s Executive Committee in what has been called “the largest and most complex case in the history of jurisprudence” by the Washington Post. He also was recently credited as one of the key negotiators in the nearly $60 billion settlements with opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and the “Big Three” drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, McKesson and the national pharmacy claims. He was selected as Co-Lead trial counsel for the city of San Francisco and state of New Mexico. Both cases were tried through closing argument and resulted in $1.5 billion of settlements to the two clients. These two trials were the primary catalyst for the $13 billion national pharmacy settlements.
