Florida Law Firm

Not every Florida law firm has been involved in high-profile pharmaceutical litigation. If you have a legal issue regarding pharmaceuticals or medical devices, it pays to work with an expert. The Florida law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) is an international law firm operating from nine offices in the United States and Europe. We have successfully defended pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers in products liability and other high-stakes litigation for more than 35 years.

The firm?s unsurpassed track record in this arena dates back to the early 1970s when Eli Lilly and Co. engaged SHB as regional counsel and later as national co-counsel in cases involving oral contraceptives and the DPT vaccine. Today, SHB represents more than 30 pharmaceutical and medical device parent companies and their subsidiaries in products liability, antitrust, employment, environmental, commercial, and intellectual property litigation.

Our successful Florida law firm accesses the expertise of more than 100 attorneys dedicated to the unique needs and challenges of this industry, which is why we have cultivated a reputation for dynamic, cost-effective solutions built on decades of experience. In addition, we have access to more than 125 research analysts with advanced degrees in multiple scientific disciplines and state-of-the-art support services. We are able to develop and execute sophisticated defense strategies, efficiently oversee the day-to-day management of individual or multiple matters, and go to trial when necessary. Our work with the SHB Public Policy Practice has also shaped the law on many cutting-edge legal issues, including those related to market share, pricing and third-generation liability. As a result, Global Counsel?s Life Sciences Industry Report has said that SHB is ?universally acknowledged as having the premier U.S. industry practice in this area? with ?almost unrivaled experience in drug and device issues.?

The SHB Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Practice has handled cases in federal courts across the country as well as every state, including the District of Columbia and Florida. Law firm resources at SHB are extensive, enabling us to work with our offices around the world to ensure we can represent your legal needs.
