United States > Dispute resolution > Product liability, mass tort and class action - defense: automotive/transport
Resourcing matters utilising litigators throughout the country, including many with general product liability and class action prowess, as well as lawyers with deep industry knowledge within the firm’s discrete automotive practice, Norton Rose Fulbright provides robust representation on behalf of an eclectic mix of auto clients, including component part manufacturers and dealers; retail outlets and automotive companies. Many of these disputes relate to product defects and frequently involve the firm acting as national/regional co-ordinating counsel and lead trial counsel in class actions and MDLs. Much of the work in the space is centred out of the firm’s Texas offices, with San Antonio-based automotive head Jeffrey Webb a popular choice among clients, as a result not only of his work in private practice but also because of his engineering background and previous in-house role for an Ohio-based tire manufacturer. The team is also increasingly active handling trucking accidents involving catastrophic injury and death, with both Brett Young and Steven Jansma serving as regional trial counsel to Vulcan Materials Company, in that regard.
