HarrisMartin's The Art of Litigation Conference: Crafting a Better Practice Speaker Profiles
Co-Chair Joseph F. Rice, Motley Rice LLC, Mount Pleasant, SC Show/Hide Bio
Motley Rice co-founder Joe Rice is recognized as a skillful and innovative negotiator of complex litigation settlements, having served as the lead negotiator in some of the largest civil actions our courts have seen in the last 20 years.
Corporate Legal Times reported that national defense counsel and legal scholars described Joe as one of the nation's “five most feared and respected plaintiffs’ lawyers in corporate America.” As the article notes, "For all his talents as a shrewd negotiator ... Rice has earned most of his respect from playing fair and remaining humble.”
