Practice/Organization Description
Faegre Drinker is a firm designed for clients. We opened our doors on February 1, 2020, uniting Faegre Baker Daniels and Drinker Biddle & Reath, two firms known for exceptional legal and consulting capabilities and a commitment to service excellence. Clients are at the start — and the heart — of everything we do.
With 1,200 experienced attorneys and consulting professionals licensed in nearly every state in the U.S., and with strategic offices in London and Shanghai, we have the strength and reach to solve our clients’ most complex transactional, litigation and regulatory challenges, wherever they may arise. We partner with clients ranging from emerging startups to multinational corporations, delivering comprehensive and customized advice that advances your most ambitious business objectives.
PRODUCT LIABILITY & MASS TORTS
Faegre Drinker’s nationally ranked product liability and mass torts team boasts one of the most comprehensive national footprints of any U.S. law firm. From product development, to production, to sales and marketing and beyond, we deliver solutions for global manufacturers, distributors and retailers throughout the product life cycle. During product design, we counsel on regulatory compliance and risk management to assess and reduce potential liability. Our team includes attorneys with backgrounds in chemistry, engineering, biology and other sciences, and we understand complex manufacturing and design matters — allowing us to identify issues that may spark lawsuits. When you face a product recall, crisis management issue, investigation or litigation, our rapid response team goes to work for you immediately, providing support ranging from efficient recall administration to global and national trial counsel or settlement counsel services to align with your business goals. Our product liability trial team is deeply experienced in high-stakes multidistrict litigation and has defended clients in nearly every state, as well as in cross-border disputes. Likewise, we understand privacy and cybersecurity issues, along with other concerns facing highly regulated industry clients.
We are nationally recognized by general counsel, clients and peers in the BTI Litigation Outlook, Benchmark Litigation and Chambers USA rankings. Many of the world’s leading life sciences, chemical, automotive, consumer products, agricultural and food companies trust our counsel. By partnering with our clients to protect the products that are crucial to their business, we provide peace of mind and safeguard their product pipeline and brand.
