Pharmaceutical Attorneys

Pharmaceutical attorneys at the firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) have successfully defended pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers in products liability and other high-stakes litigation for decades. Our pharmaceutical attorneys have a long history in this industry. In the early 1970s, pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly and Co. engaged the pharmaceutical attorneys at SHB as regional counsel and later as national co-counsel in cases involving oral contraceptives and the DPT vaccine. Since then, our pharmaceutical attorneys have been involved in groundbreaking cases involving products liability, antitrust, employment, environmental, commercial, and intellectual property litigation. With more than 125 pharmaceutical attorneys dedicated to the unique needs and challenges of this industry, SHB has cultivated a reputation for dynamic, cost-effective solutions built on decades of experience.

The pharmaceutical attorneys at SHB are part of our Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Practice. We are strategically located throughout the United States, which has allowed us to handle cases in every state and the District of Columbia. Our expertise has enabled us to defend our clients in federal courts across the country as well. Known for our innovative defense strategies for corporate giants and their subsidiaries, our pharmaceutical attorneys are complemented by our wide network of resources, such as research analysts who possess advanced degrees in multiple scientific disciplines and state-of-the-art support services.

Our pharmaceutical attorneys collaborate with a number of related practice areas. Our work with the SHB Public Policy Practice has 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.” Our pharmaceutical lawyers have also benefited from the experience of the attorneys in other areas, including Class Actions & Complex Litigation; eDiscovery, Data & Document Management; Global Product Liability; International Litigation & Dispute Resolution; and Public Policy.
