Our product liability litigators are well versed in what it takes to successfully defend against litigation involving allegations of a defective product, whether the claim involves an alleged defect in the manufacturing or design, or in the sufficiency of warnings. Our attorneys have handled numerous product liability cases from the moment the client receives a summons all the way through trial and appeal.
Facing challenges in product liability can be daunting for businesses. Our Product Liability lawyers are equipped to defend claims of any size, regardless of scope or location.

Experience has shown the significance of flexibility in defending single cases or complex mass tort proceedings, class actions, and multidistrict litigation. Our product liability attorneys represent clients in jurisdictions across the United States and they work collaboratively with in-house counsel to obtain the best result for not only a specific litigation matter, but also the client’s broader business interests.
