Overview

Our product liability team provides experienced representation in responding to the legal and reputational challenges that arise in the event of alleged product defects or failures, regulatory non-compliance, and recalls or allegations of misrepresentation resulting in product liability litigation, including class actions.

We have represented a wide range of industrial, consumer and medical products manufacturers in sophisticated, multijurisdictional proceedings. We work closely with in-house counsel to address litigation objectives. We have significant experience managing cross-border litigation arising out of the same or similar allegations. We have experience supporting clients through product recall campaigns (including Health Canada and Environment Canada recalls), and regulatory investigations.
