Jaime practices with the Mass Torts and Industry Wide Litigation Practice Group, the Medical and Life Sciences Industry Team, the First Response Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Team and the Cybersecurity Team.  Her practice focuses on the defense of complex product liability, commercial and toxic tort disputes, with particular emphasis on high-exposure catastrophic injury and property damage claims against manufacturers and distributors of commercial and consumer products and equipment. She routinely defends and counsels entities involved in the chain of supply of retail and consumer goods, construction and industrial products and equipment, personal protective equipment, automotive products, plastics and phenolic molding compounds and drugs such as Diethylstilbestrol (DES).  Further, Jaime helps clients with crisis management response by documenting incident scenes, corresponding with government agencies in the event of investigation, and defending resulting litigation.

Jaime works hard to ensure the efficient handling of all aspects of litigation, from early settlement negotiations and mediation, to conducting aggressive motion practice, depositions, and trial preparation. In addition, she collaborates with expert witnesses to develop sophisticated scientific and state of the art defenses in preparation for trial.

Jaime also routinely counsels clients on a broad array of issues impacting their businesses, including best practices for marketing products, drafting of disclaimers, labels, and package inserts and literature to avoid and defend future litigation; initiating product recalls; and preservation of evidence in pre-litigation matters.  She advises clients on liability issues that have arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with regard to in-demand products such as masks, respirators, and hand sanitizers.  Moreover, she counsels clients on compliance with safety, advertising and telemarketing regulations, and helps clients develop internal marketing, training and record-keeping practices.  She is well-versed in responding to sensitive requests for information from governmental and private consumer protection entities.
