SKILLS
ABOUT ALEXANDER J. KASPARIE
I have experience in a wide array of matters, ranging from securities and complex commercial litigation to investigations involving the SEC, FINRA and DOJ.I focus my practice on representing product manufacturers in purported class actions, multidistrict litigation and mass tort proceedings in federal and state courts. As part of that practice, I have drafted numerous Daubert briefs seeking the exclusion of plaintiffs’ experts, as well as a variety of dispositive motions and appellate briefs on the merits. I also have assisted on the development and implementation of strategies to defeat product liability litigation on the merits, including by working with experts to challenge plaintiffs’ scientific and regulatory theories. In particular, I have been significantly involved in developing expert evidence and challenging plaintiffs’ experts’ opinions at the Daubert stage in ongoing multidistrict litigation involving a generic pharmaceutical manufacturers’ product.In addition, I maintain a robust pro bono practice, representing clients in matters at all levels before state and federal courts, including assisting on the submission of multiple amicus briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court and Illinois Supreme Court (on behalf of a criminal justice reform organization) and providing other legal aid.Prior to rejoining Skadden, I served as a law clerk for the Hon. Joel M. Flaum of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and the Hon. Robert M. Dow, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
