When technical details drive the dispute, who can bring the case into focus?
Our product liability lawyers are deeply experienced in the representation of manufacturers, distributors and sellers in high-stakes claims involving catastrophic injury and property damage. We regularly defend allegations that a product was unreasonably dangerous because of manufacturing, design, or labeling, managing matters from the initial pleading through trial and appeal. Our team handles individual cases, class actions, mass tort proceedings and multidistrict litigation across the country, partnering closely with in-house counsel to align litigation strategy with broader business goals. We also represent clients in regulatory actions and government investigations tied to product safety.
Trial-ready defense for products, companies and reputations at stake
We defend claims involving manufacturing defects, design defects and inadequate warmings or instructions, including matters where catastrophic injury or significant property damage is involved. Our clients are primarily manufacturers, as well as distributors and sellers whose defense obligations may arise through their place in the distribution chain or contractual indemnity. We have handled matters involving a wide variety of industries and products, including:
- Heavy equipment, industrial machinery and oil field equipment
- Over-the-road trucks, passenger vehicles and commercial trailers
- Elevators and telecommunications equipment
- Household, consumer and beauty products
- Healthcare products
- Chemicals and other toxic substances
Bringing the right experience, experts and strategy to every defense
Our lawyers have decades of product liability and trial experience, established relationships with legal teams across the country and access to a nationwide network of expert witnesses to assist in defense of an alleged defect. With key team members also holding advanced technical degrees, we have an elevated ability to understand complex issues, work seamlessly with experts and translate technical evidence for judges and juries. We are responsive, collaborative and committed to keeping in-house counsel informed and involved as strategy develops.
Reducing risk before litigation ever begins
We counsel clients on applicable regulations, proposed product warnings and instructions and other measures that can strengthen their position if litigation arises and may help avoid disputes altogether. When a claim, regulatory action or investigation does arise, we can quickly identify the right experts and build a defense that accounts for both the immediate matter and the client’s broader business interests.
