One of few firms to focus on product liability and recall matters worldwide
Our global product liability & recall team has a worldwide reach, giving us a unique capability to advise on issues wherever they arise. We act for many household name manufacturers and retailers, often in conjunction with their insurers, handling their most technical and sensitive claims.
We advise on issues including product safety and regulation, product recall and crisis response, product liability and recall insurance and subrogated recoveries. We act on both consumer and commercial claims, including actions across the supply chain, class actions and group litigation.
We have a detailed understanding of all major sectors including aviation, agriculture and food, automotive, construction and engineering, medical devices and pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and retail. We work across the whole breadth of the supply chain, with particular specialism in cross-border and multi-jurisdictional issues.
Our team works extensively for insurers and we have assisted in drafting many of the standard policy wordings in the marketplace. We are especially familiar with excess liability and the Bermuda Form.
We have crisis management capability and provide a first response in high pressure scenarios. We work hard to preserve our clients' reputations and commercial relationships.
Our insurance lawyers pride themselves on technical excellence and the ability to deliver consistent results. We also have an extensive directory of technical experts across multiple sectors and jurisdictions. We work in partnership with our clients and experts to make early strategic evaluations. Our focus is on building relationships, settling cases at the right time or taking them to trial if necessary. Cost management is important to clients and we ensure balanced teams with the work being done at the appropriate level.
