For more detailed representative experience, please see the sectors outlined above. Here are a few select examples of mass action victories across practice groups and sectors. 

• Defense Verdict in Wrongful Death Lawsuit. We successfully defended a child seat manufacturer in a wrongful death lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. After a two-week jury trial, the jury returned a complete defense verdict.
• Defense Verdict in Dioxin Exposure Litigation. We successfully defended a chemical manufacturer in dioxin exposure litigation arising out of its operation of a herbicide plaint. We obtained defense verdicts in a jury trial on claims brought by multiple plaintiffs who lived near the facility and in a case brought by more than 100 employees. 
• Defense Verdict in Birth Defect Lawsuit. We successfully defended as co-counsel a pharmaceutical client as co-lead trial counsel in a personal injury lawsuit involving alleged birth defects related to use of anti-psychotic medication in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The jury returned a defense verdict.
• Defense Verdict for Airplane Manufacturer. We successfully defended an aircraft manufacturer following a 19-month jury trial. The verdict was upheld on appeal by the Sixth Circuit.
• Defense Verdict for Rail Car Company. We successfully defended a rail car company in a personal injury lawsuit in Arkansas. The jury returned a complete defense verdict.
• Directed Verdict and Settlement in Wrongful Death Lawsuit. We were involved in the successful defense of a pharmaceutical client in a wrongful death case involving the use of a pelvic mesh product as co-lead counsel. The court entered a directed verdict in favor of the client on the failure to warn and punitive damages claim, and the plaintiff then settled the design defect claim.
• Summary Judgment for Pharmaceutical Manufacturer. We successfully defended, as co-lead counsel in coordinated proceedings in New Jersey and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, litigation involving the NuvaRing® contraceptive ring. The New Jersey court granted summary judgment in favor of the pharmaceutical manufacturer in all seven of the bellwether cases selected for trial.
• Overturned Arkansas Regulation as Unconstitutional. We won a major victory for Monsanto in a dispute over the Arkansas State Plant Board’s regulation of Monsanto’s new low-volatility dicamba herbicide. After the board adopted a regulation prohibiting use of the product, we successfully argued that the statute permitting private interest groups to appoint more than half of the members of the plant board was unconstitutional.
• Dismissals Under Lone Pine Order. We defended a uranium milling company in a personal injury and wrongful death action against allegations of exposure to radioactive and non-radioactive substances. We persuaded the court to enter a Lone Pine-tyle order requiring plaintiffs to produce expert affidavits making a prima facie showing of harmful exposure and specific causation.  Twenty-five plaintiffs were dismissed after they failed to provide the affidavits. The remaining three plaintiffs submitted affidavits, but their claims were dismissed on summary judgment. The Tenth Circuit affirmed on appeal.
• National Coordinating Counsel for NCAA. We serve as National Coordinating Counsel for the NCAA for all of their sports injury litigation nationwide, including concussion litigation and associated MDL proceedings.
• National Counsel for Combe. We defended Combe (Just for Men) as national counsel in a consolidated personal injury mass action of more than 4,000 plaintiffs and 5,000 claimants in many different jurisdictions. We negotiated a Master Settlement Agreement, and the parties entered into the JFM Resolution Program, covering the pending cases and claimants in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
• National Counsel for Evenflo. We have served as national counsel for Evenflo Company in defense of multiple lawsuits relating to serious child car seat injuries filed in multiple venues across the country.
