Bradley Arant Boult Cummings’ Product Liability team represents clients from a wide variety of industries in litigation involving toxic torts, mass disaster cases such as explosions, releases, and spills, and in cases involving consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical products. Our attorneys litigate individual cases, but we emphasize the development of litigation strategies for multiple cases over a period of time. We represent clients in numerous jurisdictions throughout the state and federal court systems. In many cases we act as local counsel, helping our clients negotiate the legal systems of the jurisdictions where our offices are located.
We work with our clients to develop early, effective strategies for disposition of cases. Bradley Arant provides assistance in complex negotiations with governmental and administrative bodies such as CPSC, OSHA, EPA, FDA and other regulatory agencies. We prepare emergency action plans, critique manufacturing and chemical plant process safety plans, review insurance coverage, and manage high-stakes litigation. We help our clients with compliance and regulatory issues, in reviewing promotional material, and in preparing documentation to communicate information about products to the public at large.
When lawsuits are filed against our clients, we seek to find creative, efficient solutions that allow them to resolve legal issues and get back to business.
