Coordination of Product Liability Litigation

Our lawyers have handled many of the world's largest and most complex product liability and tort actions.

Jones Day has served as national coordinating counsel for manufacturers of tobacco products, lead-based paints, toys, silica, respirators, pesticides and herbicides, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, alcohol, firearms, recreational and utility vehicles, cars, tires, garage doors and openers, and energy (global warming). We have the breadth and depth to manage, resolve, and try to verdict a multitude of cases. We coordinate responses to foreign criminal and civil investigations, federal and state government agency and Congressional investigations and hearings, and state attorney general multi-state litigation. We also advise on litigation media strategy. Our lawyers have developed aggressive strategies to offensively obtain favorable legal rulings that will prevent or reduce litigation or consolidate claims into a more favorable forum. We understand the benefits and risks of MDL and class action proceedings.
