With increasingly complex regulatory and policy challenges in the pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare industry, comes the corresponding need for businesses to have at their disposal sound legal guidance and effective counsel to manage ongoing legal exposure and resultant multi-district litigation. Butler Snow’s Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Healthcare Industry team provides clients with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary legal team to minimize legal exposure, litigate through resolution, and handle crisis management.

Butler Snow’s litigators play leading roles in federal multi-district proceedings and try a broad range of cases, including bellwether cases.
