Overview

When your company and products need a strong advocate, our product liability trial attorneys and litigators are in your corner. We are formidable first-chair trial lawyers with courtroom experience in large global, national and local product liability litigation and mass tort bellwethers, as well as single-plaintiff cases. Our trial savvy has paid off for clients who have won high-profile defense verdicts and bellwether trials affirming life-saving pharmaceutical and medical device products, over-the-counter medicines, industrial and manufacturing equipment, automotive products and consumer goods — even in jurisdictions known to be difficult for defendants. Our team includes fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and American Board of Trial Advocates and certified civil trial attorneys who skillfully argue your case. We know the engineering and science behind the products we defend, and we use that to your advantage, presenting novel legal and factual defenses and scientific testimony to persuade judges and juries. In addition to a nationwide network of consultants in medical, pharmaceutical, engineering, epidemiology, industrial hygiene, forensic and information technology disciplines, we leverage in-house nurse paralegals for sophisticated medical analysis to strengthen your case. With an inclusive approach, we build diverse teams to protect your brand in a coordinated, cost-effective way and can adapt to any turn your matter takes. We collaborate to zealously represent manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, food and dietary supplements, over-the-counter medicines, pesticides and other chemicals, consumer products, agricultural products, industrial equipment and more.
