I was born and raised in Seattle, attending Roosevelt High School. During the summers I had a number of jobs including a ride operator ("carny") at the Seattle center and a warehouse worker at Safeway. Following high school, I left Seattle for Los Angeles where I attended UCLA as an undergraduate from where I graduated early as an economics and political science major and left to travel.  I was accepted into Boston University Law School and worked in Washington DC for two summers; the first for the Peace Corp in an administrative capacity evaluating recruiting techniques for high demand skills, and the second for the Federal Power Commission on a special home energy conservation program.  My time in Washington DC coincided with Watergate and Nixon's resignation and was quite exciting.  Following law school I returned to Seattle and after passing the bar, cut my teeth on the construction litigation surrounding the Kingdome.  After three and a half years I took leave of the practice of law and traveled for one year around the world with my wife.  I have been engaged in the active practice of law since my return.  Following my return, my wife and I raised two great kids who are now young adults.   I continue to be interested in travel and have enjoyed a number of adventures.  I enjoy many sports including skiing.  I collect wine.  I continue to enjoy the practice of law and my clients.

Greg was born in the former Soviet Union and immigrated to the United States with family at the age of eleven.. He grew up in Kent, Washington, where he graduated from Kent-Meridian High School.  He then attended the University of Washington where he received his degree in political science.  He went on to earn his Juris Doctorate (Doctor of Law) degree from Gonzaga University School of Law where he was a recipient of an Achievement Merit Scholarship.. Between the time he completed his undergraduate studies and the time he attended law school, Greg worked as a real estate professional. As one of the youngest real estate agents at the time, he worked hard to learn more about the real estate industry than his older competitors. Given his strong work ethic, determination and acquired knowledge, his clients were able to see past his youth and trust his expertise. Within a short period of time Greg progressed to working with developers and builders on large development and building projects.. Greg interned at Spokane County Public Defender’s Office where he was mentored by experienced and highly knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys.  While at the Public Defender’s Office, Greg managed an extensive load of cases and routinely appeared in court. After his time at the Public Defender’s Office, Greg was employed with one of the oldest and distinguished criminal defense and personal injury firms in Spokane, Washington.  Greg has appeared for countless court hearings on various matters from simple traffic infractions to serious felony matters, and pretty much everything in between.. Greg has a passion for working in the courtroom, arguing motions and conducting trials.  He has a unique ability to spot issues and craft creative, yet logical and credible arguments.  In fact, Greg is routinely praised by his colleagues for “great lawyering” and “thinking outside the box.”. Greg’s experiences working with people of different cultures and economic backgrounds allow him to better understand their needs and thus ensure proper legal representation.  In addition, his fluency in Russian and cultural ties to the Russian-speaking community enable him to better communicate with members of that community and provide them with access to the legal system.

Firm: Keller Rohrback L.L.P.

1201 3rd Avenue, , Seattle , Washington 98101

Practice Areas: Class Action

Gretchen Obrist provides her clients with a clear voice in complex cases. Gretchen is a member of Keller Rohrback’s nationally recognized Complex Litigation Group whose work as a dedicated advocate dates back two decades to her role at a nonprofit organization focused on impact litigation.. With her work as a law clerk and as a litigator, Gretchen has significant experience with a broad range of federal cases at all stages. Her nationwide practice focuses on Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) fiduciary breach and prohibited transaction cases. Gretchen’s work has helped curtail excessive and conflict-ridden fees in the multi-trillion dollar retirement savings industry and provide recourse to retirement plan participants and beneficiaries who have faced pension reductions, misrepresentations, and other unfair practices related to their retirement plan benefits. Gretchen’s ERISA experience includes a successful appeal to the Eighth Circuit in Braden v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. reversing dismissal of the lead plaintiff’s excessive fee case, significant contributions to cases challenging cash balance pension plan conversions by Washington Mutual and JPMorgan, and representation of the employees who lost nearly all of their ESOP savings with the collapse of Bear Stearns.. More recently, Gretchen has been instrumental in the firm’s litigation against pharmacy benefit managers, drug manufacturers, and other entities whose business practices have driven up the cost of prescription drugs for ERISA welfare plan participants, as well as Medicare plan and ACA/individual plan members, and the uninsured.. Gretchen’s breadth of practice extends to consumer protection and financial fraud claims, civil rights issues, and qui tam relator representation. She has played a key role in class action and multi-district cases arising out of the collapse of the mortgage securities industry and the residential mortgage modification and foreclosure crisis, including several ERISA actions and a consumer MDL against JPMorgan Chase.. Prior to joining Keller Rohrback, Gretchen served as a law clerk to the Honorable John C. Coughenour, U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Washington. Before obtaining her law degree, she worked at a public defender’s office, the Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition, and the Nebraska Appleseed Center for Law in the Public Interest—where she recently was profiled for Nebraska Appleseed’s 20th Anniversary celebration as an innovator in the organization’s earliest days.. Gretchen is a Plaintiff Co-Chair of the ABA Employee Benefits Committee’s Fiduciary Responsibility Subcommittee and a Chapter Editor for Employee Benefits Law (Jeffrey Lewis et al. eds., 3d ed. BNA 2012; Ivelisse Berio LeBeau, 4th ed. BNA 2017). She frequently speaks at conferences and CLEs, is quoted in pension-related publications, and has published a number of articles related to her practice areas.

Gretchen Freeman Cappio has a track record of success in multidistrict litigation.. Gretchen’s passion for striving for meaningful change through the class action device is rooted in her experience representing the plaintiff class in Erickson v. Bartell Drug Co., 141 F. Supp. 2d 1266 (W.D. Wash. 2001). Remarkable for its time, Erickson established that an employer violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act when its otherwise comprehensive insurance coverage plan failed to cover certain prescriptions vital to women.. Gretchen has gone on to play a key role on the leadership team representing consumers in the multi-billion dollar litigation In re Volkswagen “Clean Diesel” Marketing, Sales Practices, & Prod. Liab. Litig., MDL 2672 (N.D. Cal.). She has been involved in negotiations, drafted key settlement documents, and supervised notice in the 2.0-liter, 3.0-liter, and Bosch settlements. Gretchen presented the 3.0-liter notice plan at the preliminary approval hearing.. Gretchen is also a key member of the Plaintiffs’ settlement team in another impactful diesel emissions MDL, In re Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep EcoDiesel Mktg.,Sales Practices, & Prod. Liab. Litig., MDL 2777 (N.D. Cal.). Lead counsel asked her to coordinate key briefing assignments, expert work, and arguments.. Keller Rohrback is honored to be the sole firm appointed to represent the class in Jabbari v. Wells Fargo & Company, No. 15-2159 (N.D. Cal.). Gretchen co-leads the Keller Rohrback team that filed the first class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo alleging the bank signed its consumers up for products without their authorization. From filing the complaint to settling it for $142 million, Gretchen has played an integral role at every stage of litigation. Through innovative work with renowned economists, the settlement achieves first-of-its kind credit injury damages, which are tailored to each eligible class member’s injury. Plaintiffs’ motion for final approval is currently pending.. From its inception, Gretchen has played a key role in guiding the litigation regarding EpiPen pricing, In re: EpiPen (Epinephrine Injection, USP) Mktg., Sales Practices, & Antitrust Litig., MDL 2785 (D. Kan.). Keller Rohrback’s managing partner, Lynn Sarko, is co-lead of the litigation. He and his co-lead counsel have tasked Gretchen with drafting dispositive briefing and coordinating offensive and defensive discovery.. When a paper products company vacated a Midwestern town and left an environmental disaster in its wake, Gretchen represented the community. The mayor praised Gretchen and her team’s work, stating, “You were knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely cared about the Village’s case.” Gretchen applies these same attributes as a leading member of the Keller Rohrback team that has subsequently been hired by numerous counties to represent them in the national Opioid litigation, In re: National Prescription Opiate Litig., MDL 2804 (N.D. Ohio). Keller Rohrback’s team is designing a damages model that seeks to address one of the most urgent human-made epidemics in our country’s history.. When parents discovered their children’s toys were contaminated by lead paint, they hired Gretchen to bring the case that became In re Mattel, Inc., MDL 1897 (C.D. Cal.). In addition to briefing core legal issues, Gretchen worked with lead poisoning experts for litigation and settlement purposes.. With a reputation for effective collaboration and leadership, Gretchen takes on impactful litigation and delivers meaningful results.. Among Gretchen’s all-time favorite pieces of mail is a photograph of a satisfied client in a baby products case and her young son holding a homemade, hand-written sign that simply says “Thank you Mrs. Cappio.”
