(Leading lawyers)Drawing upon ‘deep experience and knowledge of the law and all the technical and medical aspects required for crafting a successful defense’, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP‘s New York-based team has a strong reputation handling mass torts/class actions for life sciences clients, where it is appreciated for its ‘team player approach’ and ‘strategic mindset’. The team has also developed a market-leading reputation for supporting clients involved in litigation outside of the US, where they ‘work hand-in-glove with the client’s global and local legal and medical teams as well as with the respective local counsel defending the case in court’. With a ‘comprehensive approach that transcends traditional litigation’, James C. Fitzpatrick is ‘well known for his work with scientific experts and company witnesses’, helping to effectively develop substantial domestic and international cases. The ‘detail-oriented and success driven’ Charles W. Cohen also plays a pivotal role in navigating both class action and individual matters with global intricacies, ‘delivering a supersonic level of service that is not only efficient but also personalized’. For more conventional domestic matters, the ‘terrific’ Bill Beausoleil is ‘a subject matter expert in this area’, helping to develop and implement legal strategies that work in courtrooms across the country. Robb Patryk co-heads the team with Fitzpatrick, and as part of his broad product liability practice regularly handles pharmaceutical-related disputes.
