Shook Named Global Product Liability Law Firm of the Year
Who’s Who Legal: The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers has named Shook, Hardy & Bacon the Product Liability Law Firm of the Year and Partner Harvey Kaplan the Product Liability Lawyer of the Year.
The firm has won the award for six consecutive years–every year since its inception–and this is the third consecutive year Kaplan has been named Product Liability Lawyer of the Year.
“The high esteem in which the firm is held is reflected by the exceptional levels of positive feedback its lawyers received from our sources in a range of countries worldwide,” said Callum Campbell, Who’s Who Legal Editor in Chief. “Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP is one of an elite group of firms to have won one of our awards every year since its inception, and we are delighted to recognize them as the world’s leading Product Liability law firm once again.”
In commenting on the support Kaplan received as a candidate for the Product Liability Lawyer of the Year award, Campbell said, “In a highly competitive field, retaining the Who’s Who Legal Product Liability Lawyer of the Year Award is an outstanding achievement. Harvey Kaplan received more votes from clients and peers worldwide than any other lawyer in our research. This is the third time he has won the award, and the consistently positive feedback we received from our sources across the globe reflect his exceptional talent and pre-eminence in the field. We have no hesitation in declaring him the leading lawyer in the world for Product Liability expertise once more.”
