Eugene Egdorf

Eugene Egdorf is a distinguished trial attorney with over twenty years of experience. As the head of commercial litigation for The Lanier Law Firm, Gene has enjoyed a sparkling track record in the practice areas of sports litigation, antitrust litigation and pharmaceutical litigation. Gene has negotiated settlements for clients in excess of $150 million, $60 million and $40 million, respectively. In the ground breaking case, Dale Lloyd vs. Rice University, Gene reached a substantial monetary settlement for the family of a Rice University football player who died as a result of a hidden sickle-cell trait – a trait which would’ve been easily discovered through standard testing. As a result of this seminal case, the NCAA now requires mandatory testing of all student-athletes for the sickle cell trait.
