Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Litigation

With the health care industry under increased scrutiny, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers operate in an increasingly uncertain and potentially dangerous legal environment. Aside from the threats inside the courtroom, manufacturers also face an often hostile court of public opinion and costly, reputation-damaging media coverage.

With our tenure in health care law, the medical device litigation team understands the multiple pressures companies face when in the crosshairs of a lawsuit. We work collaboratively with you to manage your case with a keen eye on the litigated outcome but also on the social and financial impact litigation may have on your company, product reputation, and sales potential.

We know how to present a case to a jury in understandable terms and help remove the emotional elements so often at play in these cases. Our team, with its deep resources, broad expertise, strong expert relationships, and history of defending complex medical cases helps us ensure our clients' best interests are represented, whether in the courtroom or through alternative methods of resolution.

We work with companies on all types of device and pharmaceutical litigation, acting as local or regional counsel, bringing our health care backgrounds to bear in:

• Drug interaction;
• Product liability;
• Pattern litigation;
• Regulatory compliance;
• Mass tort litigation;
• Intellectual property issues.

In doing so, we call on our team of veteran trial attorneys – lawyers who have tried hundreds of cases in the health care arena – many of whom have backgrounds in nursing and medicine. Since our inception, Kennedy Childs & Fogg, P.C. has built a specialty practice in the health care arena, and today we have nearly 25 lawyers whose sole focus is the representation and defense of health care companies.
