Greenberg Traurig’s practice is led by a group of experienced practitioners, including Lori Cohen, Gregory Ostfeld, Francis Citera, Gretchen Miller, and Robert Herrington. Based in Atlanta, Cohen handles product liability litigation involving alleged design defects in infant products, including claims of suffocation and positional asphyxia. In Chicago, Ostfeld represents technology and automotive clients in class actions involving virtual try-on tools and alleged collection of biometric data without consent, as well as vehicle defect and failure-to-disclose claims. Also in Chicago, Citera serves as national counsel in MDL proceedings alleging public nuisance and deceptive marketing, and defends manufacturers in radiation-exposure and failure-to-warn cases involving electronic products. Miller acts as national counsel in litigation involving wastewater treatment equipment and beverage products marketed to children. Herrington, alongside Michael McCarthy, both in Los Angeles, represents clients in disputes involving allegedly toxic uniforms and electronic product defects.
