Major multinational companies turn to Winston Taylor to resolutely defend their products and reputations in high-stakes, high-profile product liability and mass tort claims involving substantial exposure. Winston’s litigators are among the most seasoned in the industry and have tried some of the most high-profile and difficult cases in the country involving an array of products, including pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, tobacco, and chemical compounds. Our long history of taking cases to trial—and winning—gives our clients confidence in a successful outcome, whether at trial or through tremendous settlement leverage with their adversaries.

We frequently serve as lead trial counsel, multidistrict litigation (MDL) counsel, statewide coordinating counsel, or local counsel, as well as class action and appellate counsel for our clients. Winston attorneys bring a deep understanding of the scientific and technical issues crucial to the outcome of cases, including experience in toxicology, epidemiology, exposure, medical causation, and quantitative and comparative risk assessment. We work closely with the country’s most well-respected experts in these fields to build the strongest case possible for our clients.
