Liv Kiser helps leading companies navigate high-stakes litigation, including class action defense, multidistrict litigation (MDL), consumer protection, privacy, and product liability disputes—delivering trial-ready strategies that protect brands, reduce exposure, and position cases for early, favorable outcomes. Drawing on deep courtroom experience and a record of shaping favorable legal precedent, she develops strategies that defeat class certification and resolve complex matters efficiently in California, Illinois, and nationwide.
Liv Kiser represents companies in complex litigation in California and Illinois state and federal courts, as well as nationwide, including class actions, MDLs, mass torts, and products liability litigation involving alleged design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure-to-warn claims. Her practice includes defending product liability class actions, coordinated proceedings, and high-exposure claims involving consumer products, automobiles, consumables such as food and beverages, over the counter medicines and medical devices, dietary supplements, and other regulated products. She also handles privacy litigation, false advertising, and unfair competition matters.
She regularly defends claims under California’s UCL, FAL, CLRA, and CCPA/CPRA, as well as Illinois consumer protection laws, including the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). In the product liability context, she advises on litigation and regulatory risk arising from product safety issues, labeling and warnings, recalls, and FDA or state enforcement scrutiny.
She works with companies in highly regulated industries to assess jurisdiction-specific litigation and regulatory risk early, develop case-defining strategies, and position matters for dismissal, defeat of class certification, summary judgment, or trial. Her practice includes defending multi-forum disputes and regulatory enforcement actions brought by state and federal agencies, as well as parallel federal and state proceedings.
Companies turn to Liv for clear, practical guidance in product liability defense, class action litigation, regulatory enforcement defense, and emerging privacy risks, including BIPA, artificial intelligence and evolving data privacy laws involving technologies. She identifies dispositive issues early, builds strong records for early resolution, and aligns legal strategy with business priorities to deliver efficient, outcome-driven results. Clients describe her as “brilliant” and “a creative thinker.”
A trial lawyer at her core, Liv prepares every case with a focus on trial—developing arguments that not only win individual disputes but also shape applicable law, deter copycat litigation, and influence broader enforcement and litigation trends. She helps clients stay ahead of developments in consumer protection and privacy law, manage parallel proceedings, and respond effectively in high-pressure disputes.
Across industries, Liv partners with companies to protect brand integrity, maintain consumer trust, and advance long-term business objectives—delivering decisive advocacy in California and Illinois litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, products liability litigation, and trial proceedings nationwide.
