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 its Global Product Liability Law Firm of the Year and Partner Harvey Kaplan its Global Product Liability Lawyer of the Year.
The firm has won the award for seven consecutive years–every year since its inception–and this is the fourth consecutive year that Kaplan has been named Product Liability Lawyer of the Year.
"Only a handful of firms have won the Who’s Who Legal Law Firm of the Year Award in a practice area ever since they began in 2005, and even fewer firms are also home to the Lawyer of the Year Award in the same sector,” said Callum Campbell, editor-in-chief of Who’s Who Legal. "By winning these awards, Shook Hardy & Bacon demonstrates the exceptional breadth, depth and caliber of its expertise in product liability defense."
In commenting on Kaplan's receiving the Product Liability Lawyer of the Year Award, Campbell said, "Winning the Who’s Who Legal Product Liability Lawyer of the Year Award for a fourth time is an outstanding achievement. Harvey Kaplan received universally positive feedback from our sources across the globe and we are delighted to once again declare him the leading lawyer in the world for product liability defense."

The complete listing will be published in the 2011 edition of Who’s Who Legal: The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers, which covers 31 practice areas in more than 100 countries.
