Product Liability and Mass Torts

Described by clients as “the sharpest minds out there," Covington’s Product Liability and Mass Torts Practice is a market leader. Our team has twice received the American Lawyer’s Litigation Department of the Year award (2019, 2016), is ranked Band 1 in Chambers USA, and is led by lawyers who have repeatedly received individual recognition for their trial results and other wins.

Our litigators have led the defense of many of the largest, most high-profile mass tort matters, including multidistrict litigation involving pharmaceuticals and medical devices; the opioid epidemic; automotive recalls; battlefield torts; and claims arising from acts of terrorism abroad.

The team’s success relies on Covington’s core strengths: some of the top trial lawyers in the country; keen strategic judgment; the experience and resources to manage sprawling multi-jurisdictional litigation; access to world-class regulatory and investigative expertise; and exceptional oral and written advocacy.

Ultimately, our results distinguish us — securing litigation-ending dismissals before trial, winning cases before juries, and shaping the law through seminal appeals.
