My 30+ years of practice as a nationally recognized trial lawyer have focused on defending medical devices, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers against product liability claims in courtrooms across the country. I represent major Life Sciences clients in individual lawsuits, mass torts, multidistrict litigation and class actions. Notably, I tried and led the defense team on the first bellwether case in the California infusion pump JCCP to go to trial. Currently, I serve as national trial counsel in a significant medical device mass tort, as well as national coordinating counsel in several medical device mass torts.As Firm Vice Chair and Executive Managing Partner, I play a leadership role in developing the firm's platform and advancing the firm's strategic vision as we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our clients. I am passionate about forming mutually beneficial, trusted and long-standing relationships, and dedicate time to networking and growing our national Life Sciences practice.
