KBR attorneys Mario Giannettino and Lindsey Nourse secure the dismissal of three separate matters.
In each case, plaintiffs alleged the defendants, skilled nursing facilities, failed to appropriately respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. In dismissing the actions, the courts held that the facilities were entitled to immunity under the Emergency Disaster Treatment Protection Act.
KBR attorneys Jennifer Puglisi and Julie Mickiewicz represented Kaufman Borgeest & Ryan LLP at the University at Buffalo School of Law Career Fair, where they connected with aspiring legal professionals eager to make an impact in the field.
We enjoyed meeting these new professionals and look forward to supporting their future success in the legal profession.
