Thomas R. Woodrow- Chicago

CHICAGO – Holland & Knight LLP is pleased to announce that Thomas Woodrow, a partner in the firm's Chicago office, was recently honored with the Distinguished Services Award from the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Foundation (CVLS). Woodrow received the award for his 20 years of volunteer work for CVLS as a panel lawyer for tort claims.

Over the past two years, Woodrow has worked on several cases for CVLS, including the representation of a draftsman sued as a defendant in a product liability case involving a plastic injection molding machine and a very serious hand injury, and a non-English speaking domestic employee sued in a condominium fire case. Both defendants were eventually dismissed.

Woodrow focuses his practice on litigation matters, primarily complex product liability and commercial cases. He has handled and tried cases in several state and federal trial courts and has supervised and coordinated local counsel in numerous venues across the country. Woodrow has extensive experience participating in mediations and settlement conferences as settlement counsel, and has developed and implemented settlement strategies for complicated, multi-party cases.

About the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services Foundation: Since 1964, CLVS has provided free top quality legal services to Chicago's working poor. Volunteers handle non-fee-generating family, consumer, probate, tort, government benefits, immigration and other miscellaneous cases.
