About
Provided by Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP
Hughes Hubbard's Product Liability and Mass Tort group is widely recognized by leading legal publications, jurists, clients and the products bar at large as a "go to" defense team. With a large number of experienced product liability litigators and trial lawyers, including 10 partners who practice nearly exclusively in this area, as well as partners and litigation analysts with advanced degrees in engineering, medicine, nursing, and chemistry, our group is one of deepest and widest in the profession.
We have a long history of defending the largest and most complex products cases—Vioxx, Tobacco, Talc, opioids, PFAS, PCBs, DES, and Gardasil, to name a few. We also provide guidance to companies to help them stay out of future litigation. We have served as national coordinating counsel, trial counsel, and heads of nationwide science, expert, law, and discovery teams. In addition to our work as trial counsel, we have represented companies in congressional investigations, federal prosecutions, attorney general actions, and other agency proceedings. We represent life science defendants in litigations around the world, partnering with top tier local firms to achieve excellent results for our clients. We have been on the ground, at trial and working with witnesses and local counsel in dozens of countries on six continents.
