Law360’s “MVP of the Year” awards recognize lawyers who have had successes in high-stakes litigation, complex global matters, and record-breaking deals in the past year.

In its profile of Mr. Schmidt, Law360 highlighted his trial and appellate wins for Hoffmann-La Roche, in addition to leading cases for Genentech and Boehringer Ingelheim International. “Schmidt, who co-chairs Covington's product liability and mass tort defense practice, has won 12 appeals for Roche in the sprawling Accutane litigation, locking up the affirmance of every favorable trial result and engineering the reversal of more than $40 million in verdicts against the company in the process.”
