From handling the arbitrations on breast implants in the US to the multi-national product recall of expensive, combustible TVs, our product liability team grew up on headline cases. An essential part of our leading insurance practice, the product liability team has strong credentials in the billion dollar cases.
Fifteen partners handle product liability work in the UK, four have dedicated practices, but with arbitrations from Bermuda to Buncefield in the UK, our practice is genuinely multinational. Our extensive international network of offices and connections enables us to be at the forefront of high-profile litigation worldwide such as the HRT litigation in the US.
