Jones Day is a world leader in handling large and complex products liability and tort actions.

Our lawyers have litigated single-plaintiff and complex tort cases involving airline and train crashes, automobile components and tires, tobacco, silica, lead paint and pigment, consumer and chemical products, and recreational vehicle accidents.  We represent many of the world’s largest product manufacturers faced with intensely publicized threats of mass tort and class actions, state attorney general actions, and Congressional, regulatory, and criminal investigations.  Our lawyers manage consolidated trials, federal multidistrict proceedings, and state analogs to such proceedings.  We have tried headline-making cases, and handled appeals through the U.S. and state supreme courts, defeating a succession of theories designed by plaintiffs' counsel to aggregate liability, including medical monitoring class actions, consumer fraud class actions, and public nuisance claims.  We have a multidisciplinary Product Response Team that stands ready to advise in the event of a recall or crisis.
