Sometimes it’s hard to know where to look to find a San Francisco attorney you can trust, or one that understands your particular situation. Regardless of your type of legal issue, the international law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) can help.

We are experienced in a number of legal arenas. And, with eight other offices strategically located across the United States and in Europe, every SHB San Francisco attorney has tremendous resources at arm’s length to ensure you are represented in a professional, cost-effective manner.

One of our specialties centers on tort. In fact, our tort expertise encompasses all aspects of litigation in state and federal courts across the country. The SHB Tort Practice has successfully managed, directed and tried high-stakes litigation cases for more than 50 years. During that time, the firm has played a lead defense and trial counsel role in some of the largest and most substantial national and international mass tort lawsuits.

With the ability to transfer legal strategy, skills and resources to matters in any venue, each SHB San Francisco attorney has access to a wealth of experience that extends from pretrial discovery through motion practice, trial and – when necessary – appeal. We have successfully represented a range of cases including product liability claims; environmental toxic torts; workplace toxic exposure; hazardous chemical transport issues; automotive industry matters; commercial carrier matters; airline crash claims; defense of professional malpractice claims; defense of wrongful death claims; RICO, fraud and intentional torts; and premises liability. In today’s complex legal environment, it is imperative that your San Francisco attorney be able to draw on the depth and breadth of the firm’s knowledge to create the most innovative solutions for your full range of business needs.

Every San Francisco attorney is involved in a number of other activities, including pro bono work, community service and continuing education. SHB Partners Amor Esteban, a San Francisco attorney, and Washington, D. C. attorney Peter Strand will be speaking during the American Bar Association Section of Litigation’s “Fourth Annual Biotech Institute and Regional CLE Workshop” on October 14, 2009, in San Diego.
