Arnold & Porter

Arnold & Porter’s practice advises on complex product liability disputes, including MDLs, acting as lead and national counsel, shaping overall defense strategy, and serving as trial counsel. Anand Agneshwar, based in New York, co-leads the team alongside Daphne O’Connor and focuses on high-stakes pharma litigation, including claims involving OTC products alleged to cause cancer and blood thinner drugs associated with bleeding injuries. The team also has experience resolving long-running litigation without trial. In Washington DC, O’Connor concentrates on medical device litigation, where personal injury claims, challenges to FDA approval, and regulatory decision-making are involved. Also in New York, Arthur Brown advises on matters involving alleged kidney injuries linked to inhibitor medications and claims on the causation of rare but serious genital infections. Paige Sharpe, in DC, serves on defense steering committees in coordinated proceedings and, together with Daniel Pariser, handles matters involving alleged suppression of drug efficacy information, injuries associated with medical devices, and injectable products alleged to contribute to the development or aggravation of T-cell lymphoma.
