Jenner & Block's Mass Torts and Product Liability Practice delivers fearless advocacy and strategic counsel to defend clients in the most complex multidistrict litigations and class actions in the country. This team regularly counsels Fortune 100 companies before inception of the MDL, through any bellwethers, to ultimate resolution with a constant eye on the global business implications of any individual MDL. Our team draws on extensive experience across a wide variety of complex mass and toxic torts and product liability matters, offering a one-stop-shop to guide clients through every phase—from initial case assessment and discovery management to litigation, trial, appellate review, and resolution.
We represent Fortune 500 companies and other sophisticated clients across a diverse range of products and industries, including medical devices and pharmaceuticals, where regulatory compliance intersects with litigation strategy. Our approach combines nationally recognized trial advocacy with sophisticated crisis management capabilities and multi-jurisdictional expertise, delivering deep industry knowledge and legal analysis that fiercely protect our clients' interests and business objectives in the most challenging disputes.
We also represent clients in related economic injury claims, which often arise as punitive damages class actions. Our regulatory practice extends into environmental law and administrative proceedings, where we negotiate with government entities across jurisdictions on federal and state environmental regulatory programs. This comprehensive approach allows us to counsel clients on environmental aspects of corporate transactions, real estate deals, and brownfields redevelopment, providing seamless integration between litigation defense and regulatory compliance across chemical, utility, scrap metal, railroad, and ranching industries.
Our lawyers are litigators, trial lawyers, and corporate advisors who are highly regarded for their extensive appellate practice and strong strategic capabilities. This multifaceted background allows us to approach each matter with both immediate tactical precision and long-term strategic vision.
Drawing on decades of collective experience in mass tort defense, our team has secured landmark victories and favorable resolutions in some of the largest and most complex litigation matters in recent years, including MDL proceedings with hundreds of thousands of cases and multi-billion-dollar exposure.
