Ted Oshman, who also practices professionally as Theodore Oshman, is a veteran trial attorney and legal strategist with more than 40 years of experience representing individuals harmed by corporate negligence, defective products, and medical malpractice. He is the owner and principal attorney of The Oshman Firm, a nationally active plaintiff litigation practice based in New Jersey and New York City. Since beginning his legal career in 1984 and assuming firm ownership in 1985, he has secured over $500 million in recoveries for clients involved in complex mass tort and catastrophic injury matters.

His academic background includes earning an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Rochester. This scientific foundation enabled him to analyze medical records, technical data, and expert testimony. He later earned a Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School and completed additional coursework at the New York University School of Professional Studies to expand his professional and business knowledge. He is admitted to practice law in New York and New Jersey and has represented clients nationwide.

Ted Oshman began practicing law with The Oshman Firm and its predecessor entities in 1984. From the start, his practice focused on cases involving negligence, defective products, unsafe pharmaceuticals, environmental contamination, and medical errors. In 1985, he assumed ownership of The Oshman Firm and has remained in that role for more than four decades, maintaining active involvement in case development and litigation strategy.

Under his leadership, the firm has handled environmental litigation, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical and medical device litigation, and personal injury law. The Oshman Firm has been appointed as lead counsel or co-lead counsel in numerous mass tort litigations. He has also served in court-designated leadership roles, including liaison counsel and positions on Plaintiffs’ Steering Committees in Multi-County Litigations involving drug product liability and medical device claims. In 2019, the firm was named “Best Lawyers Best Law Firms” by U.S. News & World Report.

Francis Walsh III has dedicated his professional life to leading and strengthening a long-established American logistics company. As chairman and chief executive officer, he oversees a nationwide operation that has continued to expand since 1952 while remaining focused on the fundamental work of hauling freight, protecting shipments, and supporting customers who depend on reliable performance.

He leads a third-generation, family-owned business operating across transportation, logistics, supply chain, and storage from its headquarters in New Jersey. The organization provides integrated services that address the full range of supply-chain needs, built on reliability, coordination, and disciplined execution.

His connection to the industry began early in life. Raised in a family deeply involved in transportation and logistics, he was exposed to the realities and pressures of the business from a young age. Warehouses, terminals, trucks, and schedules were familiar parts of daily experience, shaping an understanding of how decisions made at the executive level affect people working throughout operations.

When Francis joined the company full-time in February of 1994, he brought practical knowledge developed through years of observation and hands-on involvement. Rather than stepping into leadership removed from daily operations, he learned the business by engaging directly with its many functions. Over time, he advanced through every level of the organization and ultimately assumed leadership following more than four decades of family stewardship. He views employees as an extension of family and clients as long-term partners, reflected in relationships that have endured for decades.

That operational foundation continues to guide his leadership approach. As a former airline executive, he evaluates growth and strategy with an operator’s mindset, emphasizing efficiency, safety, and accountability. Under his leadership, the company has expanded its national network of facilities, equipment, and transportation assets while maintaining consistent execution.

A defining focus of his leadership has been cargo security. As supply-chain risks have grown more complex, Walsh has invested in systems, training, and procedures designed to safeguard customer assets. These efforts have contributed to industry recognition and supported a reputation for dependability, even during periods of widespread disruption.

Beyond daily operations, he remains committed to community involvement and philanthropy, guided by values shaped early in life and carried forward with his family. For Francis Walsh, leadership is rooted in preparation, steady judgment, and responsibility, with decisions made to endure over time rather than serve short-term interests.
