Notable Experience
- Successfully represented Pfizer (co-counsel with Williams & Connolly) in Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) proceedings in the Southern District of Florida involving thousands of product liability cases alleging that Zantac causes cancer. After extensive fact and expert discovery, and an all-day Daubert hearing, all of the plaintiffs’ expert opinions were stricken, and summary judgment was thereafter entered in favor of Pfizer in all of the MDL cases. Also argued and obtained dismissal with prejudice of a similar Zantac case filed in Broward County Circuit Court.
- Three-week product liability jury trial defending the leading distributor of defective Chinese-manufactured drywall in the Southeastern United States. Secured a favorable verdict with nominal damages.
