We help our clients navigate the complex regulatory and litigation issues that can arise throughout the life cycle of a product, from assessment, claims prevention and compliance to product recalls, crisis management and defence of claims. Our lawyers have the skill set to efficiently manage complex product liability disputes, including class actions, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or trial.
