The experience and expertise obtained in the
areas of Product Liability and Medical Malpractice
have fostered and enhanced our ability to respond to
the unique needs of our Food, Drug and Medical
Device clients. The Food, Drug and Medical Device
industries operate in a highly regulated
environment. We have a wealth of experience working
with our clients in this environment.
Our role begins early with risk management, attention to medical
literature, knowledge of regulatory practices and applicable
statutory and case law. We focus on sound preventive strategies and
an aggressive defense approach. We are familiar with the
requirements of Multidistrict Litigation and strive for both
efficiency and organization in the process of defending MDL matters.
Our attorneys are admitted in New York, New Jersey, California,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Virginia, and Washington, D.C., as well as in England and Wales and
have served as national coordinating counsel as well as local
litigation counsel on various programs.
We have defended members of the National Food Processors
Association and have worked for manufacturers of food products and
over the counter vitamin supplements in cases involving adulterated
products and claims of foreign objects. Most recently we have
published and lectured on liability issues in connection with
obesity claims.
As a result of our experience with litigation in this area we
have worked closely with the scientific, medical and academic
communities to utilize their knowledge. Our attorneys are members of
the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI), the Defense Research
Institute (DRI) and other national organizations and state bar
associations for whom we have lecturers on numerous topics in this
field.
