"You Like Us; You Really Like Us!"

As evidenced by the badge to the left of this post, I am excited to announce that the humble MassTortDefense blog has been selected as one of the LexisNexis Top 25 Torts Law Blogs of 2011.

More info on the criteria used by the LexisNexis Litigation Resource Community to select their  Top 25 Tort Law Blogs of 2011 is available here, but it is clear their list includes blogs with a wealth of information for tort law practitioners, with timely news items, practical information, expert analysis, frequent postings, and helpful links to other sites. 

MassTortDefense is proud to be included, and grateful, as always, for our faithful readers.

 

Dechert Receives Chambers USA Award for Excellence 2009 for Products Liability

If the faithful readers will permit me a non-substantive note:  I was pleased to learn that the product liability practice group here at Dechert, which I co-chair, has been selected as the recipient of the Chambers USA Award for Excellence 2009 for Products Liability. These awards "honor outstanding lawyers and law firms across the USA, reflecting both pre-eminence in key practice areas, and achievements over the last 12 months."

The other nominees, all fine firms, included A&P, Bartlit Beck, Kaye Scholer, Shook Hardy, Sidley, and Williams & Connolly.  Dechert has had the privilege of working with lawyers from several of these firms in the "virtual law firm" model in mass torts.

Certainly, this recognition reflects the hard work and talents of all the partners, counsel, associates, staff attorneys, and paralegals in our group.  It also stems from the confidence and trust placed in us by the clients who come to us for advice and assistance on many of their most challenging product liability and mass tort issues. 

(Your humble blogger was again listed nationally among Product Liability lawyers, as well.)
