(Leading lawyers)Lauded for its ‘deep legal, regulatory, and scientific knowledge’, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP provides ‘unparalleled client service’ to clients, often working collaboratively with other counsel in a “virtual law firm” setting to defend pharma and medical device companies against high-profile mass tort claims. The firm has also gained a market-leading reputation for its ability to effectively co-ordinate cross-border litigation, providing ‘very efficient, smooth and productive communication and work’, as a result of its ‘close familiarity with multinationals’ culture and requirements as well as with foreign law firms’. James C. Fitzpatrick and Charles W. Cohen have been key to this success and have both developed ‘vast international experience in different jurisdictions’ over the years. They both also ‘have exceptional skills to present creative and strong arguments’, with Fitzpatrick, in particular, noted for his ‘cutting-edge abilities on the scientific aspects’, and ability to effectively develop strong arguments working with medical and science experts. Robb Patryk co-heads the team with Fitzpatrick and as part of his broad product liability practice regularly handles pharma-related disputes.
