Jenner & Block has represented a large number of national and international corporations facing product liability and mass tort actions involving an array of claims for personal injuries, property damages and economic losses. We offer an experienced cadre of first-chair trial lawyers who know how to present the client’s most effective defense to judge or jury in cases presenting the potential for significant damages exposure. We also have represented manufacturers in related litigation for indemnity, lost profits and coverage claims.

We are especially skilled at developing factual and legal defenses for complex scientific and technical issues.  Many of our lawyers have advanced degrees in such fields as chemistry, engineering and behavioral sciences.  We select technologies that minimize the cost of managing information and enhance communication with clients.

The Firm prides itself on developing a partnership with corporate counsel. Our attorneys emphasize early strategic thinking with the goal of obtaining the best business result for the client. Our approach to case management emphasizes litigation efficiencies. As examples, we have routinely engaged in early case assessment of risks and strategies, front-end trial readiness, collaboration and leveraging with other firms, innovative expert and jury work, and other techniques designed to reach early and favorable results. We are often asked to suggest methods of risk management to minimize the impact of an anticipated problem.
