The ‘extremely responsive and thoughtful’ team at DLA Piper LLP (US) provides an ‘excellent client service and medical device knowledge’ to a wide range of pharmaceuticals companies, including Sanofi and Bayer, across a range of major product liability mandates. While the firm has a growing profile in trying cases, it is particularly adept at achieving an early conclusion of cases, through its effective use of dispositive pre-emption motions and Daubert challenges. Loren Brown in New York regularly acts as national co-ordinating counsel and lead trial counsel in mass torts and MDLs throughout the country, as well as in the context of global litigation – including her work for Bayer in mass tort litigation involving Essure. Based out of Atlanta, product liability chair Christopher Campbell is noted for his high-level strategic advice to manufacturers across a range of products, including many within the pharmaceutical space, where he is appreciated for his ‘guidance on the big picture’, as well his aptitude at handling cross-border mandates. Boston-based global co-chair of the firm’s life sciences sector, Matthew Holian is ‘super smart and very strategic‘ throughout the product life cycle, from risk assessment, pre-litigation discovery, bellwether trials and, ultimately, resolution. ‘Highly-skilled‘ Boston-based Katie Insogna excels at handling high-stakes litigation and counselling. Based out New York, Lucas Przymusinski provides ‘thoughtful guidance‘ to pharma companies across an array of regulatory and litigation matters, including product liability disputes, where his medical and science background provides additional benefit.
