Practice Area

Mass Torts & Complex Products

National litigation involving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, toxic exposures, and other complex products.

Our lawyers have spent decades in national mass-tort and complex-product litigation involving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, chemicals, consumer products, and toxic exposures.

Experience across the life cycle of national litigation

Large coordinated proceedings require different skills at different stages: case selection, pleadings, science and expert development, discovery, leadership coordination, bellwether preparation, settlement strategy, and the administration of individual inventories. Our lawyers have worked in each of those settings and have served in court-appointed leadership roles in multidistrict and coordinated proceedings.

Areas of experience

  • Pharmaceutical and medical-device litigation
  • Herbicides, chemicals, and toxic exposures
  • Consumer and product-design claims
  • Coordinated state and federal proceedings

What we bring

  • Science and expert development
  • Discovery strategy and case management
  • Bellwether and trial preparation
  • Inventory and settlement strategy
  • Leadership and co-counsel experience

We approach mass-tort work selectively. The goal is not simply to accumulate inventory; it is to identify litigation where the firm can add strategic value and develop cases capable of producing meaningful outcomes.
