Overview

Morrison & Foerster’s Product Liability Group maintains a premier practice with experienced attorneys throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Individuals within the group defend and provide counsel to all types of product manufacturers and suppliers. We are particularly strong in the areas of aerospace and aviation, consumer products, and pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Because the firm represents clients across several industries in the U.S. and abroad, we work closely with many of the firm’s different practice groups, including Consumer Litigation and Class Action, Environmental Law, Life Sciences, Insurance, and Corporate.

Attorneys in our group are also members of the firm’s trial practice, and work closely with the Appellate and Supreme Court Group to preserve our trial wins. Several members of the Product Liability Group serve as trial and national coordinating counsel in product liability and toxic tort cases, including numerous large class actions, multi-party serial tort litigation, and mass tort litigation. Our trial partners have tried hundreds of cases to judges and juries, arbitrators and administrative bodies. Our appellate attorneys have taken on some of the most challenging legal issues of significance to our clients’ businesses.

Our experience reaches beyond the courtroom. The Product Liability Group regularly provides on-demand advice for our clients, including all aspects of product liability risk management and counseling. Attorneys are regularly called upon to provide advice regarding product labeling requirements, product recalls, insurance and indemnification issues, and acquisitions involving ongoing product liability claims.

The Product Liability Group is recognized nationally for its depth of knowledge about product liability law, its exceptional level of client service, and its continued success in achieving favorable results for clients.
