Products Liability

Protecting the interests of manufacturers, retailers, and distributors

We have significant experience across multi-state jurisdictions, and are national coordinating counsel for Products Liability matters for many of our clients.

In an era of unparalleled global market expansion, businesses can’t afford to have their output adversely influenced by potentially damaging lawsuits. With thousands of new products being introduced into the market each year, companies may find themselves at risk of litigation by consumers claiming injury or damage to property as a result of an alleged product defect. Similarly, emerging technologies, like autonomous vehicles and advanced robotics, are new product areas that can result in accidents that require legal representation.
