Paul finds common ground between the challenge and reward of litigating and his interest in playing the horses. Both pursuits are, in the words of a prominent handicapper, “like doing a crossword puzzle; they satisfy a need to be right.” Likewise, both combine art and science and require judgement and strategizing to achieve a winning outcome based on facts, legal precedents, and past performances.

Paul V. Majkowski focuses on complex mass toxic tort litigation, including coordinating with attorneys in Korea, France, New Zealand, and Canada regarding a set of related controversies with matters in those jurisdictions.
Paul’s practice includes defending claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly arising out of exposure to herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals. He is experienced in alleged dioxin exposure cases, and routinely engages with epidemiologists, toxicologists and biostatisticians, as well as medical clinicians and scientists in other disciplines.
In addition to toxic tort and product liability, Paul has litigated and arbitrated a broad range of other disputes over the course of his more than 30 years in practice. His experience encompasses insurance matters (environmental and mass tort coverage, first-party property insurance, etc.), other tort and personal injury defense, and commercial disputes.
He has published articles on a variety of issues involving mass torts, toxic torts and related science, international toxic tort litigation, and the recognition of foreign judgments and has presented at seminars sponsored by IADC, ABA, ACI, and the US-Korea Law Foundation.
A former editor-in-chief of the St. John’s Law Review, Paul has served as an officer and director in the Nassau and Manhattan chapters of the law school’s alumni association. He also participates in the American Bar Association’s National Appellate Advocacy Competition as a moot court judge and brief grader.
