Product Liability & Mass Torts
Overview
From product development to production to sales and marketing and beyond, we deliver solutions for global manufacturers, distributors, and retailers throughout the product life cycle. During product design, we counsel on regulatory compliance and risk management to assess and reduce potential liability. Our team includes attorneys with backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, biology, and other sciences, and we understand complex manufacturing and design matters — allowing us to identify issues that may spark lawsuits. When you face a product recall, crisis management issue, investigation, or litigation, our rapid response team goes to work for you immediately, providing support ranging from efficient recall administration to global and national trial counsel or settlement counsel services to align with your business goals. Our product liability trial team is deeply experienced in high-stakes multidistrict litigation and has defended clients in nearly every state, as well as in cross-border disputes. Likewise, we understand privacy and cybersecurity issues, along with other concerns facing highly regulated industry clients. We are nationally recognized by general counsel, clients, and peers in the BTI Litigation Outlook, Benchmark Litigation, and Chambers USA rankings. Many of the world’s leading life sciences, chemical, automotive, consumer products, agricultural, and food companies trust our counsel. By partnering with you to protect the products that are crucial to your business, we provide peace of mind and safeguard your product pipeline and your brand.
