Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies hire Howrey because we have the knowledge, skill and experience to act as national counsel in their most important cases. Our thorough understanding of the intricacies of mass consumer actions and the many theories of liability available to the modern plaintiff, along with a thorough grasp of the tactics and motivations of plaintiff firms, is essential to our success in helping clients resolve complex legal matters. A global perspective, combined with a cohesive "special-teams" approach, is essential to successful litigation defense. Our Product Liability and Mass Tort Class Action practice covers a much broader area of specialty, both geographically and in terms of experience, than is traditionally offered. Howrey’s Product Liability group teams with members of other practices, including Insurance Recovery, Environmental, Appellate and Supreme Court, and Intellectual Property to bring the firm’s diverse experience to bear on matters involving a wide range of products and services. More than 160 Howrey attorneys have substantive engineering, science and technology backgrounds. Our IP practice brings intimate knowledge of the products in question – having often litigated the underlying patents, and often approaching matters with deeper knowledge than our competitors, creating better efficiencies for our clients.
The range of matters Howrey represents include:- Federal and state investigations, enforcement actions and trials involving consumer products, financial services and the environment
- Nationwide class actions involving RICO, Truth-in-Lending, predatory lending, contract, fiduciary duty and state consumer fraud claims
- Mass tort, toxic tort and product liability defense involving asbestos, MTBE, computers, software, medical devices, alcoholic beverages, motor vehicle emissions, various consumer products, and chemicals used in food packaging
- Government and private environmental actions, including plaintiff actions combining traditional environmental theories with product liability and unfair business practice claims
- National counsel engagements, including management of national tort and environmental dockets
Our practice is augmented by our consulting affiliate, The CapAnalysis Group, LLC, allowing immediate and cost-effective access to leading economic, financial, environmental and regulatory analysts who advise and inform on case analysis and strategy.
Our attorneys can also leverage the firm’s Trial & Litigation Support Services, which provide sophisticated electronic discovery capabilities, formidable mock trial facilities and outstanding trial technology.
