James Bilsborrow, Esq., joined Weitz & Luxenberg in 2011 and works as an associate attorney in our Environmental and Toxic Torts group. He is admitted to practice law in the State of New York, a privilege he attained in 2009. Mr. Bilsborrow maintains memberships in five important professional organizations: the New York Bar Assn. and its Young Lawyers division; the American Bar Assn.; the American Association for Justice; and the American Constitution Society. In 2008, Mr. Bilsborrow completed the juris doctor program offered by William & Mary School of Law. He distinguished himself there by graduating second in his class and securing a place in the school’s Order of the Coif, which recognizes the academic achievements of the top 10-percent of students. Additionally, the school conferred upon him in the 2007-08 academic year its Best Student Note award for his authorship of “Sentencing Acquitted Conduct to the Post-Booker Dustbin,” a work published in the William and Mary Law Review. These honors represent an extension of those he earned while a political science and philosophy major at the University of Chicago (he was on the Dean's List every year between 1999 and 2003).
“One of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had at Weitz & Luxenberg involved helping create a medical class-action settlement for victims of the BP oil spill cleanup. Their plight was deeply troubling to me because, without our involvement on their behalf, they stood to receive nothing in the way of compensation for chemical-based exposure injuries they had suffered. They likely would have been simply forgotten and neglected. Instead, they will now be entitled to receive preventive care and mental health treatment, in accordance with a protocol we secured for them. It’s a victory they and, really, all of the Gulf Coast deserved. What it shows when you get right down to it is that dedicated advocates like those you find here at Weitz & Luxenberg can make a difference on behalf of their clients.” – James Bilsborrow
