About B. Clyde

Mr. Hutchinson has extensive class action experience. He was lead defense counsel in a 21,000 member class action in which plaintiffs sought tort damages for invasion of privacy arising from the use of polygraph examinations in pre-employment screening. He is presently defending a class action against a national railroad carrier in which plaintiffs allege violations of the Americans Disabilities Act.
Mr. Hutchinson has lectured widely on a variety of trial practice subjects to numerous legal and professional organizations.
