Product Liability

Our Product Liability team, recognized for its “incredibly sophisticated and deep bench of lawyers who are capable of adding value at every stage of the workflow” (Chambers USA), combines deep scientific and technical knowledge with unmatched first-chair trial experience to defend product manufacturers in their most complex and high‑stakes litigation worldwide. We handle the most challenging individual cases, multidistrict litigations, mass torts, and class actions for leading manufacturers across the most highly regulated and scrutinized industries.

We represent pharmaceutical, medical device, automotive, transportation, tobacco, consumer product, chemical, petrochemical, mining, and technology companies in high-exposure matters that present enterprise-level risk. We guide clients in those industries through the entire litigation life cycle, from early risk assessment through trial and appeal, supported by the hundreds of lawyers and professionals at our firm devoted to the practice.

We partner with clients to develop proactive, business‑focused strategies, often well before litigation arises, drawing on the collective strength of our regulatory, discovery, government investigations, and appellate teams. Our lawyers work closely with clients to assess risk, investigate claims, develop themes and case theories, and prepare witnesses and evidence for potential disputes.

Our team includes dozens of first‑chair trial lawyers who regularly try cases in some of the most challenging jurisdictions for corporate defendants. This sustained and ongoing trial cadence allows us to offer clients real‑world trial readiness rather than theoretical experience. We capitalize on our ability to translate complex science and sympathetic fact patterns into clear, persuasive narratives that resonate with judges and juries.

 With decades of experience as national coordinating counsel, we deploy proven case management structures, technology, and standardized processes to drive consistency, efficiency, and economies of scale that help clients control risk, minimize overall exposure, and achieve favorable outcomes with the highest caliber of advocacy.
