Cecilie Loidolt Named 2025 President of Litigation Counsel of America

The Litigation Counsel of America (LCA) named WTO Partner Cecilie Loidolt its 2025 President. LCA is an invitation-only trial lawyers honorary society—membership represents less than 0.5% of American lawyers.

LCA selecting Cecilie as President highlights her outstanding trial results. Cecilie has taken over 60 cases to jury defending her clients in high-exposure medical malpractice lawsuits. She has won high-profile trials, including a first-of-its-kind opioid addiction case for a pain specialist. Her recent victories also include winning a defense verdict for a doctor in a $40 million stroke case and a defense verdict for an anesthesia team in a paralysis case involving spinal surgery.

LCA’s mission is to recognize and promote lawyers who excel in the art and science of litigation. In a letter welcoming LCA Fellows to 2025, Cecilie praised the lawyers in the organization. “One of my favorite things about the LCA is the willingness of our speakers to talk very openly about the human aspect of what we do, and to bare their souls to a warm and welcoming audience. There is no boasting, no judgment. Instead, we share, we learn, and we come away from every interaction together as better lawyers,” she wrote. “I love this organization, and I want to serve it in the way that others have.”
