It is our conviction that clients benefit the most from comprehensive, centralized programs which are executed through long term cooperation between the client and counsel in all matters affecting liability for products. Further, cooperative efforts between counsel, management, and designers allow ongoing improvements in the design and marketing of products to reduce accidents and exposure to liability.

Our firm specializes in the defense of products liability matters in the United States for manufacturers and their insurers. Many of our clients are European based manufacturers which do business in the U.S. through distributors or subsidiaries. We provide counseling in connection with claims made prior to filing of any suit, and legal defense at trial and appeals in all federal and state courts.

Importantly, we also counsel on preventative safety prorams which lessen exposure through the reduction of accidents and the creation of comprehensive programs which reduce exposure to liability. The firm has assisted clients in the successful establishment of numerous internal protocols and record keeping programs with respect to risk analysis, design analysis, accident investigation, and technical standards archiving and compliance.

Our firm represents numerous foreign manufacturers with broad product lines on a national basis in the defense of products liability litigation. This centralizaton of efforts has demonstrable advantages and obviates shortcomings inherent with a less strategic approach. Defense counsel develops a keen and detailed understanding concerning the design of the product line of the client, both historically and technically. Thus a consistent approach to defense can be made. Additionally, management and staff of the client need not re-educate different local counsel as claims are made in different jurisdictions. Further, cooperative efforts between counsel, management, and designers allow ongoing improvements in the design and marketing of products to reduce accidents and exposure to liability.

We look forward to conferring with you to devise successful strategies to defend your company.
