Products: Class Action, Trade & Industry RepresentationNixon Peabody is well-known for high-stakes products liability and complex tort litigation. We have successfully handled 11,000 breast implant cases as national coordinating counsel for a Fortune 500 company, and have served as regional counsel for three other Fortune 500 companies, handling hundreds of repetitive stress injury cases. We also serve as coordinating counsel for a European conglomerate in aviation accident litigation in both the U.S. and Europe. Our attorneys staff major cases efficiently: We use small, in-house teams that offer clients decades of industry-specific knowledge and years of trial experience. These teams are supported with state-of-the-art case management tools to share information quickly among team members and clients, including “extranets” that allow 24-hour communication. Our seasoned trial lawyers know how to talk to juries. We have successfully tried high-exposure cases to verdict across the country and in some of the most difficult venues. We bring a cost-effective approach to every case we handle. Litigation is expensive and unpredictable, and we work closely with clients to limit their exposure. Early case evaluation, using both formal and informal discovery, permits an educated assessment of litigation risks at the outset. Our attorneys are creative problem-solvers who work hard to identify ways to bring lawsuits to prompt, cost-effective conclusions, whether through early settlement, alternative dispute resolution, or motion practice. Lawyers in the group also frequently counsel clients in claims prevention. We make it part of our practice to understand each clients’ business and industry, and we partner with clients to review compliance with industry and government standards. This helps us identify ways to reduce lawsuits and improve a company’s ability to defend future lawsuits through improvements in product testing, warnings, and recordkeeping. |
