Product Liability, Prevention and Government Regulation

Product liability exposures increasingly drive the litigation risk profile of many U.S. and global corporations. These matters frequently extend beyond legal defense to the business effects on risk management, insurance coverage, brand image, financing, financial reporting, corporate governance, future corporate transactions and communications to shareholders. Moreover, they rarely are limited to one court or jurisdiction. Each claim has nationwide and, often, international implications.
