With a string of big victories in trial and appellate courts, major settlements, plus a creative strategic edge that sets it apart, Covington & Burling wins our product liability contest. What’s remarkable is that Covington’s group beat two powerhouse product liability firms—Reed Smith and Shook, Hardy & Bacon—even though it’s much smaller and has focused on this field for less than a decade.
“Covington excels at litigation strategy,” says Mary-Alice Barrett, assistant general counsel at Genentech Inc., who has overseen litigation over the Accutane acne drug made by parent company Hoffman-La Roche Inc. “It’s more than strategy in the courtroom on a given day. To me, they exhibit the highest level of big-picture strategic thinking.”
