From advising on consumer protection laws to developing pre-emptive strategies and defending claims, clients come to our nationally integrated team for our technical excellence, strategic media strategies and the ability to digest and analyse highly technical data.
Subject to ever increasing regulation and strict liability laws, product liability is a part of the new wave of personal and class action claims flowing from the sophisticated approach of plaintiff firms and litigation funders. Globally and within Australia, we have seen a continued review and refinement of safety regimes and product recall systems and a number of high-profile claims within the pharmaceutical, food and construction industries.
Advising on defective manufacturing and design claims, product recalls and crisis management, we work closely with our clients to isolate and neutralise risks associated with their business and product lifecycle. When a claim is made, clients are able to call upon our expertise in class actions and understanding of the insurance issues. Clients also benefit from our strong industry backgrounds and media experience, which we use to respectively source and instruct the best expert opinions and to help limit a client’s reputational damage.
