    On this episode of CEO You Should Know, we sit down with Jamie Bordas of Bordas & Bordas — one of the region’s most accomplished trial attorneys and the managing partner behind a law firm that has secured massive verdicts and settlements across multiple states.

    From multimillion-dollar courtroom battles against corporations like Walmart to high-stakes toxic tort and insurance bad faith cases, Jamie has built a reputation as a relentless advocate who knows when to negotiate… and when to fight.

    But this conversation goes far beyond the courtroom.

    Jamie talks about growing up around the family business, leading Bordas & Bordas into Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, and balancing the pressures of managing a major law firm while raising six children and coaching youth football for more than two decades. We also dive into leadership, preparation, client trust, philanthropy, and the mindset required to handle cases where the stakes can change lives forever.

    It’s a fascinating look at the business of law, the art of persuasion, and the responsibility that comes with fighting for people on the worst days of their lives.
