Morrison Foerster Investigations + White Collar Defense partner Nate Mendell, former Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, hosted the fourth episode of When Your Life Sciences Are on the Line, where leading practitioners and thought leaders share the insights and advice needed to manage business and legal risk in the life sciences sector.
In this episode, Nate spoke with Julie Park, Managing Partner of Morrison Foerster’s San Diego office whose practice is focused on product lifecycle and mass torts. Julie and Nate talk about product liability risks for life sciences companies, particularly in connection with the use of artificial intelligence in medical devices. Nate and Julie also discuss potential sources of liability for companies driving these innovations, as well as strategies for avoiding unwanted scrutiny from enforcers and the plaintiffs’ bar. In addition to sharing what safeguards can protect your business when bringing new technology to market, Nate and Julie address what is necessary to manage a crisis in the event that product liability litigation presents itself.
