Covington lawyers regularly advise clients on strategies for anticipating and managing liability risk posed by new technologies, and our experience has direct application to the safety profile and liability risks of emerging nanotechnologies. We regularly advise on product recall matters in the life sciences, automotive and other sectors in which nanotechnology applications are being developed, and we serve in an advisory capacity for clients in many other industries that are updating their crisis management plans and procedures as they integrate novel technologies or applications.
We also serve as defense counsel in product liability and toxic tort lawsuits, and as national coordinating counsel or strategic advisors for companies and trade associations involved in national or multi-state liability actions. Our practice is multidisciplinary in nature, requiring the integration of deep experience in the particular industry, sophisticated litigation management capability, and extensive trial expertise.
Our mass tort and class action litigation experience has been gained in many of the areas in which nanotechnology has had its strongest impacts, including pharmaceutical products and cosmetics, medical devices, chemicals, and food and beverage products and their packaging. Our product liability clients include companies and trade groups in the pharmaceutical, medical device, food, alcohol beverage, dietary supplement, chemical, construction equipment, energy, railroad, software, automotive, and mining industries.
