Chambers Award For Excellence
If readers will allow a non-substantive note, I am pleased to be able to report that Dechert's Mass Torts & Products Liability Practice Group, of which I am the Co-Chair, was named the top product liability group in the nation by Chambers USA at an awards dinner in New York last week.
For twenty years, Chambers has published leading directories of the legal profession, based on the work of 100 full-time researchers who interview thousands of lawyers and their clients around the world. Chambers USA ranks the leading firms and lawyers in an extensive range of practice areas throughout America.
This is the second time Dechert has received the "Award for Excellence" for Product Liability. In announcing the 2010 Product Liability award, Chambers USA stated: "whether in advisory matters or the courtroom, Dechert is a force to be reckoned with in product liability matters."
In accepting the award on behalf of my entire team, I thanked the clients who have entrusted Dechert with some of their most challenging product liability matters over the years and thereby have given us an opportunity to excel on their behalf.
