When Lightfoot was founded 32 years ago, we were motivated, challenged and defined by our products liability work. While much has changed in the world since then, product liability cases are still the lifeblood of the firm. We serve as trusted regional and national product liability defense counsel to some of the world’s largest product manufacturers in automotive, transportation, heavy agricultural equipment, energy, electronics, consumer goods and other sectors. Key clients include U-Haul, PAACAR, General Electric, Techtronic Industries, Hyundai, General Motors, BP, 3M, Dupont, A.I.G., Emerson Electric, A.O. Smith, Terminix, Toyota, Volkswagen and Proctor & Gamble.
When leading manufacturers choose the Lightfoot Product Liability team, they engage strategic and creative trial lawyers to defend their products. We dedicate ourselves to pursuing the right solution for our clients, whether negotiating a favorable settlement, securing a dismissal or taking a case to trial. All of this is done in an efficient, cost-effective manner that rivals the caliber of work from a New York, Chicago, D.C. or LA firm. We also play well with others, working seamlessly with a client’s other outside litigation counsel to achieve collective goals.
