Pritzker is founder and president of PritzkerOlsen, P.A., a leading national practitioner of foodborne illness litigation. He currently represents multiple individuals and families in lawsuits and other legal actions stemming from infections of E. coli 0157:H7, non-O157:H7 E. coli strains, Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni. One recent E. coli 0157:H7 lawsuit filed by the firm's local counsel in Arizona is on behalf of an Arizona family sickened in the Bravo Farms cheese E. coli outbreak of late 2010. The contaminated Gouda cheese (since recalled) was sampled and sold in Costco stores in Arizona, Colorado, California, New Mexico and Arizona. PritzkerOlsen represents seven people sickened in the cheese E. coli outbreak.
Mr. Pritzker will appear January 21, 2011, at the Northeastern University Law Journal's annual symposium: "From Seed to Stomach: Food and Farming Law." The symposium will focus on recent legal developments in the areas of food and farming law, including intellectual property and genetically-modified foods, sustainable economic farming, and food labeling and consumption. The symposium will take place on Northeastern's campus in Boston and the three-lawyer panel featuring Mr. Pritzker will be called "Inside Foodborne Illness Litigation.'' Jason Sapsin, former associate chief counsel for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, also is scheduled to participate in the panel discussion.
