Harris Beach mass tort and industry-wide litigation attorneys have represented foreign and domestic clients of all sizes and industry affiliations in some of the most complex and precedent-setting mass torts filed in the last 30 years. We are noted for our proprietary approach to large case management and e-discovery litigation support. Our attorneys are recognized as thought leaders on emerging issues; are active members of industry groups; and are sought-after educators who write and speak for bar associations, trade councils, companies and insurers. Our Mass Torts and Industry-Wide Litigation Group has been named a national Tier 1 Law Firm for Mass Torts Litigation/Class Action-Defendants by U.S. News and World Report® “Best Law Firms” 2021, recognition it has earned each of the last seven years. The Mass Torts and Industry-Wide Litigation Practice Group provides clients with the kind of experience and goal-oriented advice needed to achieve efficient, cost-effective results in large-scale litigation.

Litigation proceedings, typically coordinated in some fashion, often seek recovery for personal injuries or property damage arising out of a single occurrence or a discrete series of events (i.e. a product recall or an environmental release). However, they may also seek to modify the defendants’ business practices by asserting novel theories of liability designed to prompt judicial legislation. If the subject matter is compelling, mass torts can even attract significant media attention.

Whatever the plaintiffs’ aim or the media’s interest, mass tort litigation is a complicated and expensive process for defendants. While all cases proceed through the same general stages, mass torts are typically more difficult to resolve. As the number of interested parties increases, so does the volume of filings, disclosures, motions, coverage issues, potential conflicts and confidentiality concerns. Special court rules may apply, judges may exercise their right to control the proceedings, some of the defendants may opt to act as a group, individual defendants may need to manage their defense in multiple jurisdictions, brands may need to be protected, crisis-management strategies may have to be deployed, and various levels of insurance and reinsurance may be implicated. In addition to the cost of the litigation itself, the threat of multimillion-dollar verdicts can cause irreparable harm to a company’s reputation and financial stability.

Our mass torts and industry-wide litigation group brings a wealth of knowledge to bear on every matter it handles. Our attorneys understand the needs of their insured and self-insured clients and craft individualized, goal-oriented litigation plans to satisfy each of them. Group members focus on “shortest route” solutions and use the firm’s broad array of practice groups and professionals to create interdisciplinary litigation management teams that provide comprehensive, personalized defenses within fee structures that maximize their clients’ return on investment.

Harris Beach Mass Torts and Industry-Wide Litigation Practice Group attorneys are recognized for their ability to handle cases in which complex scientific and legal issues overlap. Group attorneys hold degrees or licenses in fields such as pharmacology, nursing, industrial hygiene, education, food and beverage operations, law enforcement and computer science. Others have held key positions in government, including United States Attorney.

Case Management

Our Mass Tort and Industry-Wide Litigation Practice Group does not take a one-size-fits-all or volume-based approach to case management. The institutional knowledge gained from being involved in every aspect of mass tort litigation for 30 years enables our group to handle each case individually and to make prompt, effective decisions as the litigation unfolds. Our attorneys can serve as national, regional or local counsel; sit on litigation steering committees; manage phased discovery; draft case management orders and operate under joint defense/expert sharing/ confidentiality agreements. We can also handle large-scale document management/production, engage in alternative dispute resolution, file complex dispositive motions, negotiate mass/ structured settlements, challenge experts whose opinions are based on “junk science” and take whatever other action is required to further the client’s litigation strategy.

Consulting Services

Harris Beach recognizes that client solutions often involve more than just legal needs. Consequently, we offer a unique, comprehensive approach to meeting our clients’ pressing non-legal challenges through our affiliated consulting subsidiary, HB Solutions LLC.

Our consultants provide controversial and crisis management services to help clients identify the branding problems posed by a mass tort; develop, implement and maintain a response plan; train affected personnel; and take necessary steps to preserve their public standing and market share.

E-Discovery (E-Info℠)

The attorneys in the e-info Practice Group are leaders in the areas of applying dataset analysis and computer-assisted predictive coding to the challenges of complex litigation and investigations. This benefits our clients with substantial improvement in the analysis of their documents while lowering the total cost through increased efficiencies. Our e-discovery predictive-coding solutions are powered by software which acts as an efficiency engine to leverage attorneys’ analytical skills and Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) to increase accuracy in review by up to 70 percent, dramatically reduce review timeframes by up to 50 percent and cut client costs by up to 50 percent.

We have routinely been named as a Go-To Law Firm® for litigation e-discovery in the In-House Law Departments at the Top 500 Companies as published by Corporate Counsel.

First Response Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Team

Trend Monitoring

Our mass torts and industry-wide litigation attorneys belong to and support a wide variety of organizations. Because our attorneys constantly monitor developments in their areas of practice, they are regularly asked to author articles for, and deliver speeches to, these and other groups on topics related to past experience, as well as evolving issues such as climate change litigation, “greenwashing” and nanotechnology.

 

Our mass torts and industry-wide litigation attorneys have put their knowledge to work as national, regional and local counsel in dozens of class actions, mass torts and multidistrict litigations venued in federal and state courts throughout the country. They have defended manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, purchasers, property owners and other entities ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies.

  • General Tort Liability
    • Premises liability
    • Catastrophic injuries
    • CERCLA claims

Our representative matters include such notable mass torts as In Re: World Trade Center Disaster Site Litigation, In Re: Diet Drugs (Phen-Fen) Litigation, In Re: DES Litigation; litigation involving IBM semiconductor workers, infusion pain pumps, the Happy Land Social Club fire, asbestos; class actions such as NAACP v. American Arms (handgun distribution), Pelman v. McDonald’s (fast food obesity claims); and multidistrict litigations involving silicone breast implants, Digitek, Zicam, Factor VII and Ephedra.
