We have represented clients involved in every stage of the product chain and across various industries, including manufacturers of pharmaceutical and medical devices, consumer products, industrial equipment, military and defense equipment, building materials and chemicals.
Our trial lawyers have litigated cases involving toxic torts, environmental liability, products liability, occupational injuries and public nuisance, among others, with substantial experience defending claims involving allegations of cancer, neurological damages and other long-latency diseases. We have handled cases involving air, water, soil and fire/explosion-related exposures and mass evacuations, and defended claims alleging exposure from a range of chemicals and natural-occurring substances. We serve as National Coordinating Counsel, regional, local and trial counsel in premises and products liability matters for a wide range of industries.
Our team has represented clients in consumer product class actions across the US. These cases typically allege that consumers relied on a manufacturer or retailer’s label claim, warranty, or material omission, and that the consumers were harmed by their purchase. We also advise clients on regulatory compliance and risk mitigation strategies for consumer product development and sales.
