Lawyer Rankings
United States > Dispute resolution > Product liability, mass tort and class action - defense: automotive/transport
Centered in Philadelphia with further access to broader products and mass tort competence throughout the country, DLA Piper LLP (US) provides ‘outstanding representation’ to multinational automotive and automobile component part manufacturers in complex litigation in federal and state courts across the US. Matthew Goldberg heads up the automotive subgroup and has recently secured a number of victories for Hyundai Mobis, including in multi-party actions (MPAs) regarding alleged defective airbags. Nathan Heller, who is praised for his ‘capacity to ask the right questions to get to the heart of the matter’, also has experience in handling auto-related product liability and consumer fraud class actions, as does associate Timothy Pfenninger, who is active across all phases of litigation. Automotive clients also benefit from the experience of Washington DC-based Paul Hemmersbaugh, who can draw upon vast risk management and regulatory expertise (including in relation to autonomous vehicles) for clients due to his experience both in private practice as well as his former roles at GM and as Chief Counsel to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. All named practitioners are based in Philadelphia unless otherwise indicated.
