Mr. Eisen gained some notoriety when he took on Philip Morris in a case alleging that tobacco companies were violating prohibitions on television advertising by the strategic placement of billboards at sports venues. That case led to the removal of "The Marlboro Man" and other tobacco advertising from NFL, MLB, and NBA stadiums and venues around the country. It also whet Mr. Eisen's appetite for taking on big, well-funded litigation opponents.
