Product Liability

Product liability, mass tort, consumer law, and product regulatory risk matters and lawsuits create business-critical legal and non-legal risk. Our global, multidisciplinary products law team provides the comprehensive legal support required to address such issues.

We provide comprehensive global legal representation, as proactive advice and strategic defense of claims, to manage legal risk on all products law legal issues across the full product life cycle. This ranges from legal issues at product launch to regulatory and consumer law issues, to product safety crises, public law issues, regulatory investigations, enforcements and prosecutions, and product-related litigation of all sizes, including mass torts and class actions.

Our team guides clients through product liability, mass tort, consumer class action, and other consumer litigation, as well as supply-chain disputes, contract and claims management, and insurance recovery actions. Our Chambers-ranked litigators have successfully defended clients in jury and bench trials spanning the globe.

Outside the courtroom, our team helps clients reduce their exposure and protect their brands by counseling them on consumer rights and remedies, product safety, regulatory compliance, best practices for communications, reporting, and recordkeeping, and on supplier, distributor, and consumer contracts. When problems arise, we assist with crisis management by helping clients navigate legal reporting obligations to regulators, investigations, enforcement actions, product recalls, and other corrective actions.

We represent clients across the supply chain, from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, to e-commerce entities, consumer service providers, insurers, and reinsurers.
