The Idea Grove team helped our partner law firms, Forrest Weldon and Duncan Stubbs, to develop a communications strategy and raise awareness of their case against Bayer’s harmful Roundup product—ultimately resulting in a $1.56 billion verdict against Bayer. Idea Grove consistently provided us with senior counsel, often on little notice—one of the great values of working with a quality boutique.
