Medical Devices & Pharmaceuticals

DEFENDING INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS

Cases involving medical devices and pharmaceutical medications need a legal team with an in-depth understanding of the industry’s challenges and regulations. Our attorneys are well versed in regulatory compliance and have tried cases involving complex medical litigation in courts across the country. We have successfully defended medical devices used for permanent birth control, knee and hip replacements, IVT filters, and surgical tools.

We have also successfully defended pharmaceutical medications used to help with hormone replacement therapy, cholesterol, diabetes, acid reflux, and pain management. We have the experience and capability to serve in a variety of roles such as national, regional, and trial counsel. We have also been science captains, worked with experts and company witness, and selected bellwether cases. From initial compliance investigations and pleadings, through discovery and trial, we help you navigate each step in the defense of your medical device or pharmaceutical product.
