Product Liability
Ranked among the top 20 product liability teams nationally by Chambers, Benchmark Litigation, and BTI, we handle high-exposure litigation and have served as national coordinating counsel for major manufacturers—consumer products, industrial equipment, automobiles, tires, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerial work platforms, and more—and have prevailed in scores of high-stakes cases nationwide.
As Chambers reported, clients recognize us for having, “very strong lawyers who secure spectacular trial success.”
Our success goes beyond legal strategy. We excel at dismantling plaintiffs’ expert testimony because we understand the science behind our clients’ products. And we develop deep insight into our clients’ businesses and people, enabling us to craft solutions that account for more than just the legal particulars.
With extensive trial experience, we win for clients across the country. We ask the right questions, craft a compelling story, and present it effectively—an ability that is critical to protecting clients from nuclear verdicts in a time of rampant verdict inflation.
For cases resolved before trial, our trial expertise lets us identify compelling narratives early and expose the weaknesses in opposing cases. That—combined with our well-known trial record—often drives favorable resolutions without ever reaching a courtroom.
"Dominant trial practice fielding an impressive bench
of expert product liability attorneys."
