Darren C. Barreiro, a partner in the firm’s Litigation Department,  will serve as a moderator/panelist for a breakout session on “Communications and Jury Selection Exercises” at the Magna Legal Services Crisis Management: Part III CLE event, which will be held on May 11 & 12, 2017 at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples, Florida.  The program, designed for claims executives, in-house counsel and litigators, features an interactive mock crisis workshop and topical speaker discussion panels.

In a mock crisis scenario involving a high profile federal lawsuit, moderators will receive juror information and participate in a mini voir dire to select the best jurors for their case, which other participants prepare for and take part in an interview with an investigative reporter.

Mr. Barreiro focuses his practice in the representation of individuals and businesses in complex commercial litigation, including international litigation and chancery matters.  He has served clients in a variety of industries, including real estate, financial and mortgage lending, transportation, food and beverage, technology, healthcare, legal, accounting and environmental. His experience includes restrictive covenant and unfair competition cases, real estate and specific performance disputes, contractual litigation, partnership and shareholder disputes, consumer fraud act litigation for developers and individuals, bankruptcy litigation, professional liability litigation, estate and employment matters, construction litigation, and personal injury cases. Mr. Barreiro also assists clients in Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) cases involving the voluntary disclosure to the Internal Revenue Services of previously unreported income and undisclosed foreign accounts and assets.
