In Kirkland & Ellis LLP‘s Chicago office, James Hurst continues to lead on litigation in the product liability and consumer protection spaces for major pharma clients, with recent success for Abbott Laboratories in federal bellwether cases relating to thousands of pending cases regarding baby formula products, securing three consecutive summary judgments in federal court and setting strong precedent for future cases. Furthermore, he defended Eli Lilly against breach of contract claims brought PDL Biopharma, Inc. alleging that they were owed royalties on Lilly’s Alzheimer’s medicine Kisunla – Hurst again secured a complete summary judgment victory.
