Addleshaw Goddard

Noted for major group actions, Addleshaw Goddard ‘offers a unique one-stop service’ and ’a strong health and safety team that overlaps with product liability work, offering clients solutions whatever the issue.’ These varied mandates range from global product recalls to large-scale commercial litigation. Cécile Burgess leads the group, described as ‘excellent across all technical issues with great client management skills.’ Advice by the group also ranges from product safety to regulatory compliance with health and safety regulations, and disputes such as damage claims. Mark Chesher leads many of these matters, but is also strong in commercial litigation within product liability. Megan Goodman has a strength across the life sciences, automotive and manufacturing industries, among others. The team continued to play a key role in advising the Department for Business and Trade on compensation related to the Post Office scandal; this further highlights the group’s involvement in high profile, major group actions. Elaine Barker stands out for product recalls in the life sciences sector.
