Bill Fischer has spent his legal career in complex civil litigation at Kohner, Mann & Kailas SC

His practice includes securities arbitration, litigation involving Wisconsin sales and use tax, insurance bad faith, intellectual property infringement and unfair competition, and Wisconsin Fair Dealership cases.

He is currently engaged in multidistrict litigation in Nevada, representing a class of Wisconsin plaintiffs, alleging antitrust violations and price manipulation in the natural gas industry.

Recently, he successfully established the existence of a contact in a case in the Western District of Wisconsin, despite the absence of a written contract, proving the existence of a contract with only oral representations and unsigned materials. Besides establishing the contract, the case also resulted in a $4.5 million jury verdict in favor of his client, one of the largest verdicts in Wisconsin ever based on an oral contract.
