Hello, I'm Rahal Tandon, and this is Business Daily Meets here on the BBC World Service,

where we bring you in-depth interviews with people in business from across the globe.

Today, we're meeting Brent Wisner, the managing partner at litigation firm Wisner-Bowm in Los Angeles, California.

We had invested millions and millions and millions of dollars in a case

and never knew if we were ever going to win.

In fact, everyone told us we wouldn't.

Brent is known for his track record of successfully taking on some of the world's biggest companies

in high-stake legal battles.

People always ask me, how did you do it?

How did you win?

And I said, well, truth is, I just made it up as I went along.

And securing substantial settlements for his clients. He's renowned as the youngest attorney in American

history to win a multi-billion dollar jury verdict. I wish I didn't have to do these cases. I wish the

regulators did their jobs and products were safe. And those victories in court, well, they've now grabbed the attention of filmmakers.

It does make me nervous to think about what the world will think about me.

It's crazy.

That's the U.S. litigation lawyer Brent Wisner coming up in today's Business Daily Meets.

Growing up in Topanga Canyon near Los Angeles,

and also his beliefs.

It was a community where people embraced a sustainable lifestyle

and valued environmental protection.
