When a product is blamed for an injury or an alleged exposure becomes a mass claim, the stakes are rarely confined to a single courtroom. QPWB’s Products Liability & Toxic Tort group is built for exactly that reality: a national defense team that combines sophisticated, science-driven litigation strategy with the reach of one of the country’s largest law firm networks.
Design, manufacturing, and failure-to-warn claims across consumer products, industrial and heavy construction equipment, automotive, and mechanical products.
Asbestos, talc, chemical exposure, and other multi-plaintiff and emerging-claim litigation.
Complex, scientifically intensive matters involving regulated products.
Exposure, contamination, and legacy-liability matters for industrial and environmental services clients.
Exposure, contamination, and legacy-liability matters for industrial and environmental services clients.
High-stakes liability claims tied to products and operations.
Coordinated defense of aggregated and high-volume claims.
Product and toxic tort claims rarely respect state lines. QPWB serves clients through a national network of 58 offices in major metropolitan areas from coast to coast, allowing the group to defend matters wherever they are filed, without the cost and friction of stitching together a new team in every venue. Clients get one strategy, one point of accountability, and local presence everywhere it matters.
The group’s leadership has sat on both sides of the table, including senior in-house roles at global manufacturers, and brings that perspective to risk assessment, product safety, regulatory compliance, and litigation avoidance. We help clients define, measure, and minimize exposure proactively, and we counsel C-suite leaders and insurers on global risk management and legal spend, not just individual cases.
As one of the fastest growing and largest law firms in the country, QPWB pairs the resources of a national platform with a culture of responsiveness and disciplined, cost-effective staffing. Clients receive sophisticated defense without big-firm overhead, and a team that treats budget predictability and reporting as part of the engagement, not an afterthought.
From expert development and Daubert strategy to mediation, arbitration, and trial, the group brings the technical fluency and courtroom experience these cases demand, together with the practical judgment to resolve matters efficiently when resolution is the right outcome for the client.
