“Larissa’s addition to the Retail Litigation Center reflects the RLC’s dramatic membership growth along with the constant drumbeat of mass litigation and arbitration demands filed against the retail industry,” said RLC President Deborah White. “The RLC established its innovative Defense Division in 2019 and now has 60 retail members – more than double our membership in 3 years – and 20 law firm members. Larissa brings on-point litigation experience and a deep understanding of today’s employer-specific challenges. I’m confident our members will find great value in her expertise and commitment to our mission.”
The Retail Litigation Center was founded in 2010 as the only organization dedicated to advocating for the retail industry in the federal and state judiciary. The organization has filed over 200 briefs to date, serving as the voice for the industry on key issues – and delivering results, including a landmark victory before the U.S. Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Wayfair.
