He was also instrumental in the high-profile Hale v. State Farm class action and represented international financial institutions in complex commercial disputes.

LaDuca, Firm Chairman, Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, LLP. “His deep roots in the Southeast and experience handling complex product liability cases and class actions will significantly enhance our ability to serve our clients throughout the region.”
A recognized leader in his field, Barrett has received numerous accolades, including consistent recognition in The Best Lawyers in America ® for Commercial Litigation, Antitrust Litigation, and Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions. He was also honored with the American Antitrust Institute’s 2024 Antitrust Enforcement Award.
“Joining Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca represents an exciting opportunity to expand the firm’s footprint into Tennessee and the broader Southeast market,” said Barrett. “The firm’s commitment to excellence and its track record of successfully handling complex litigation aligns perfectly with my experience and vision. I look forward to growing our presence in Tennessee while continuing to serve our clients with the highest level of advocacy.”
Barrett’s practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, class actions, and antitrust matters. He has extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes litigation across multiple industries, including healthcare, insurance, and financial services. His addition to Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca further strengthens the firm’s position as a leader in complex litigation and class actions.
The Nashville office will serve as a hub for the firm’s Southeast operations, focusing on complex commercial litigation, class actions, and antitrust matters across multiple industries, including healthcare, insurance, and financial services.
