Product Liability & Toxic Tort Law
Delivering Innovative Business and Legal Solutions
Who We Are
Our mission is to partner with our clients to develop innovative business and legal solutions for all of their product liability needs.
For over thirty years, we have represented Fortune 500 Corporations as well as closely-held companies including product designers, manufacturers, distributors and sellers in litigation, arbitration and mediation proceedings. We have also handled numerous toxic tort cases involving exposures to asbestos, benzene and mold.
Our attorneys have the experience and skill to effectively manage the most complex of today’s product liability and toxic tort cases. We are well versed in the legal issues surrounding product liability matters and are dedicated to keeping abreast of all changes and developments in this continuously evolving area of the law.
Our knowledge of substantive legal issues allows us to effectively analyze a case in its early stages and to develop and implement a comprehensive trial strategy and litigation plan. Early strategic planning effectively positions the matter for a favorable resolution whether by settlement or trial.
Our legal acumen in the products liability arena has been developed in the courtroom and greatly enhanced by our participation in organizations such as the Defense Research Institute and the Products Liability and Mass Tort Sections of the American Bar Association.
We provide experienced and cost-effective legal representation in this “high stakes” area of law where the results can have a dramatic impact on the viability of a company.
