Wylie Blair comes from a St. Louis legal legacy that traces back to 1866, when his great-great-grandfather began practicing at the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis. Today, Wylie continues that tradition of courtroom excellence—having secured over $310 million in talcum powder verdicts against Johnson & Johnson and broken Monsanto’s winning streak in Roundup litigation. Admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, Wylie handles the most complex catastrophic injury and mass tort cases at OnderLaw.

Wylie’s Practice Areas
At OnderLaw, Wylie has a wide-ranging, successful practice handling catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, pharmaceutical and medical device cases, general product liability matters, auto and trucking accidents, construction and premises liability claims, and environmental contamination cases.
Mass Torts
Wylie has been at the forefront of major mass tort litigation, including the first talcum powder verdicts against Johnson & Johnson, Roundup cancer claims against Monsanto, and 3M earplug defect cases. His experience coordinating complex multi-plaintiff cases delivers results for those harmed by corporate negligence.

His track record includes hundreds of millions in settlements and verdicts.
Wylie’s roots in Centralia, Illinois shaped his commitment to fighting for those who need it most—later inspiring his pro bono work protecting vulnerable Illinoisans from state cost-cutting measures.
