The firm has a long history of success in the fields of mass tort and multi-party complex litigation, and we are recognized nationally as a leader in this field.

We make sure our clients’ interests remain in the forefront of multi-party cases across the United States. Working with other parties and their counsel to the greatest extent possible, our attorneys seek leadership positions in multi-party litigation, serving as liaison counsel for groups of aligned parties, drafting master pleadings, discovery, and motions with and on behalf of these groups, and generally leveraging our clients’ interests with those of other similarly situated parties to take full advantage of economies of scale and coordinated litigation tactics.

We also help our clients, develop procedures to streamline notice to manufacturers on known product defects, to reduce the chances that spoliation will devalue our clients’ claims, and to maximize the opportunities for recovery without the ever-increasing expenses of litigation.
