Mr Benjamin Sadun > Dechert LLP > New York, United States > Lawyer Profile

Primarily based in New York and California, Dechert LLP‘s product liability and mass torts team has a strong reputation, in particular, in the defense of consumer product-related healthcare and pharma matters. As well as handling many high-profile consolidated disputes relating to personal injury as a result of side effects following the use of drugs manufactured from brand-name pharma companies, the team also handles a growing number of healthtech-related disputes. In this regard, Los Angeles-based Benjamin Sadun is representing a well-known women’s health app in its global defense of alleged privacy violations. Outside of the healthcare and pharma space, the firm continues to defend 3M in the largest ever MDL to date brought by  US military veterans and service members alleging that their hearing loss was caused by defective earplugs sold to the US military. Los Angeles-based partner Sheila Birnbaum co-heads the overarching product liability and mass torts group alongside Mark S. Cheffo  in New York. Former co-head Kimberly Branscome moved to Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in February 2024.
