Product Liability

Why choose our Product Liability lawyers?

Our specialists regularly handle a variety of product liability issues, including those involving industrial equipment, medicine and medical devices. We provide, fast, discrete assistance where product recall or other corrective measures are considered necessary in response to concerns about product safety. We can also assist with reputation management and provide support on crisis communications and dealing with the press.

We provide regulatory assistance as well as advice on product liability disputes. This includes liaising with Trading Standards and other regulatory authorities and attending interviews under caution with directors and senior managers of the producer concerned. Our team is also highly experienced in defending civil litigation arising out of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and in common-law negligence in the UK.

Our extensive European network means we have experience of product liability claims across the continent. Although the European Directive on Defective Products 1985 has been transposed into domestic law in most European countries, our lawyers can advise on the nuances of the different EU frameworks for product liability, tailoring our approach according to the jurisdiction.
