Products Liability & Mass Torts
StayLaw
Products liability and mass tort cases are experiencing explosive growth in
the United States and around the world. Juries are increasingly awarding
massive sums, there is far more coordination and communication among
plaintiffs’ lawyers, and the globalization of the economy means that
products incidents are no longer isolated. To address the challenges of this
new environment, defendants need a sophisticated and coordinated response.
StayLaw has been at the cutting edge of some of the most high-profile
cases in the United States and brings a wealth of experience for clients in
regulated and non-regulated industries.
Winning Trial Strategies and National Coordination
Our attorneys have extensive experience trying complex cases, including jury
cases, for issues as diverse as Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals,
Telecommunications, Energy, Toxic Mold and Tobacco. Our team has acted as
national counsel, developing strategy and trying cases at the national and
local levels. We work with our clients to:
* Develop and coordinate overall strategy
* Master the legal and factual issues
* Manage voluminous documentation using our award-winning technology
platform
* Ensure consistency in pleadings and discovery responses
* Formulate themes to guide the defense
* Prepare witnesses to present full and accurate testimony, free from
surprises
* Develop collaborative relationships with local counsel, in-house legal
teams or divisional counsel in multiple countries and jurisdictions as
needed
Whether the case involves a single plaintiff or a mass tort, StayLaw draws on a breadth of experience in cases of all kinds, in venues
across the U.S. and internationally, to develop a creative strategy for that
specific case. Our approach is practical and business-focused. We are
therefore able to achieve powerful and cost-effective results through
flexible and client-centered teamwork. For example, for clients in highly
regulated industries, our Governmental Relations Group can craft strategies
at the federal, state and local levels. We also offer extensive experience
in insurance coverage; our creative approach to settlement and cost-effective
litigation strategies have resulted in significant victories in some of the
largest insurance coverage disputes in the United States.
