Philip R. Green

Philip helps clients facing catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and product liability claims in high-stakes litigation in the most challenging jurisdictions in the country. A trial lawyer with dozens of jury trials to verdict, he represents companies in the consumer products, pharmaceutical, medical device, transportation, and technology sectors. Philip manages each matter from early case assessment through trial, turning challenging facts and difficult venues into favorable outcomes.

Companies facing serious product liability and premises liability claims need outside counsel who can do more than manage discovery — they need a lawyer who is prepared to try the case. Philip is that lawyer. He regularly handles multi-week jury trials involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases involving complex causation issues and punitive damages claims, often in jurisdictions where corporate defendants face an uphill battle. His deep familiarity with plaintiff strategies allows him to anticipate opposing arguments and build defenses that resonate with juries.

Philip's trial work spans a broad range of industries and products. He has defended claims involving consumer goods, motor vehicles, real estate, pharmaceutical products, medical devices, tobacco, and industrial equipment, among others. Whether the theory is premises liability, design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn, he brings hands-on courtroom experience and the strategic judgment to match the defense to the facts — and the venue.

Beyond the courtroom, Philip serves as a trusted advisor to clients managing large litigation portfolios and multi-jurisdictional exposure. He coordinates defense teams, develops case strategy aligned with business objectives, and provides the candid risk assessments that help companies make informed decisions about when to resolve a matter and when to take it to trial. His clients value his ability to see the full picture — from early case evaluation through post-trial motions and appeal — and to communicate clearly at every stage.

Philip is also an active voice in the broader defense community. He speaks regularly on trial advocacy and litigation trends, and his courtroom performances have drawn recognition from industry observers for the kind of focused, persuasive trial presentation that is increasingly rare among lawyers at major firms.
