St. Louis
Jimmy Martin has practiced as an aggressive, tenacious and skilled commercial litigator for 10 years. Before law school, he captained the Yale men’s hockey team and played three years of professional hockey — experiences he said continue to significantly shape his approach to litigation.
Martin was part of the team representing St. Louis plaintiffs against the NFL and St. Louis Rams, a matter that resulted in a $790 million settlement. He also served on the trial team in a Southern District of Texas federal jury trial where the opposing party’s $10 million demand was rejected.
Representative clients include Ronnoco Coffee LLC, Emerson Electric Co., Edward Jones and Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company.
