At the core of Baker McKenzie‘s practice lies defending clients against claims for damage caused by allegedly defective products, or for issues within the supply chain. Practitioners are well-equipped to handle cases ranging from potential settlement of product liability claims arising from a clinical trial in the UK, to multi-jurisdictional product safety claims for large, international household-name manufacturers. The group is able to access a global network of US and EU product liability expertise. The group is equally adept at advising on risk prevention and product compliance, often handled by Joanne Redmond, who has a particular strength on the regulatory compliance side of product liability matters. Experienced litigator Kate Corby oversees the group, and leads much of the group’s advice to clients navigating global product recalls, displaying ’excellent technical knowledge combined with reliable commercial nous’.
