Mass Tort Litigation & Settlement Strategies

Overview

As pioneers in mass tort litigation, we aggressively defend high-stakes mass tort cases and multidistrict litigation while focusing on your strategic and business priorities. With innovative management processes, we coordinate simultaneous federal and state court litigation, working effectively with corporate and local counsel. Using the virtual law team model, we organize into teams based on anticipated litigation activities, which serves your strategic and financial interests. We have the depth to play every role in mass tort litigation and the collaborative skills to work in concert with other firms in the United States or around the world. We develop long-term, parallel track litigation strategy, understanding that settlement ultimately may best align with your goals. Your definition of success drives our approach. To promote efficiency, we leverage technology to manage large case portfolios and mass settlements, and we partner with Tritura to streamline e-discovery, data preservation, information governance and database management and to efficiently report to clients. With plaintiffs’ firms growing increasingly sophisticated, our record of handling tens of thousands of cases in major pharmaceutical, medical device, food, agribusiness, automobile and consumer products litigation will help you sleep at night when facing mass tort litigation.
