Short Hills, NJ, US

I litigate cases for clients in the areas of complex civil litigation, including product liability, toxic tort, environmental, consumer fraud and securities litigation on behalf of Fortune 500 companies in state and federal courts throughout the U.S. and before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation.I have extensive experience formulating litigation strategies based on complex medical and scientific issues and respond to toxic tort allegations, including assessing the scientific issues related to such claims. I regularly identify and retain experts and have worked with some of the country’s most prominent exposure and liability experts to develop scientific defenses for my clients. I have appeared in federal and state courts around the country defending class action litigation brought under consumer protection and consumer fraud statutes, including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (NJCFA) and the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act (TCCWNA). I also advise clients on electronic discovery matters and have extensive experience counseling clients on record retention compliance policies and procedures. My experience spans the entire litigation process, from the investigatory and pleading stages through discovery, witness preparation, trial and appeals.
