About Roman Silberfeld

Over the course of my career as a trial lawyer, I have developed a record of courtroom success across many of complex civil litigation’s challenging disciplines. My trial and appellate experience includes business and high technology matters, product liability, professional negligence and mass tort litigation, with particular emphasis on multi-state, multi-party, and class action litigation. Along with a meticulous dedication to the demands of the courtroom, I bring a courteous and easy going demeanor to every case. I gained national recognition for my role as lead trial counsel in litigation brought on behalf of my client Celador International, creator of the “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” game show. The case’s $269.4 million jury verdict—plus $50 million in prejudgment interest—is the largest verdict, ever obtained in a “Hollywood accounting” lawsuit. In addition, I have repeatedly served as the court-appointed Lead Counsel or Chair of court-appointed litigation committees in multi-party, complex litigation. As a leader in the firm, I serve on Robins Kaplan LLP’s Executive Board and as the firm’s National Trial Chair. In this role, I marshal those proven and effective trial strategies, tactics, and techniques to benefit the firm’s clients both in California and across the country.
