Norton Rose Fulbright advises start-ups and established life sciences clients on product liability, antitrust, and IP matters. On the product liability side, the firm has experience defending and coordinating individual cases and MDLs. Its antitrust practice handles litigations, mergers, government investigations, and enforcement, while its IP work spans enforcement, prosecution, and litigation. The practice is co-led from Dallas by D’Lesli Davis, a lead trial counsel in mass tort cases who also represents corporate clients in product liability litigation, and Jonathan Skidmore, vastly experienced in mass torts and product liability. Strengthening the IP team, counselor Rhiannon D’Agostin joined the Denver office, while Adam Rehm, who focuses on IP prosecution, licensing, and litigation, joined the Dallas team; both arrived from Polsinelli PC.
