Morrison Foerster

Led from San Diego by the ‘outstanding’ Erin Bosman following David Fioccola’s departure for Proskauer Rose LLP in October 2023, Morrison Foerster‘s class action and mass tort group provides ’business-oriented’ advice to established entities and growth companies on issues throughout the litigation continuum, from risk management advice and product recalls through to motion pleadings, settlement negotiations and representation at trial stage. The firm has deep roots in Silicon Valley and is regularly engaged in product liability mandates for manufacturers of hi-tech products. Bosman has noted expertise in the AI field, and is increasingly advising on product liability litigation involving AI elements. With a focus on the life sciences space, San Diego-based Julie Park‘s work extends to consumer products, where she is praised for her ability to ’bring a human-centered approach’ to work, spanning product safety compliance and litigation. San Francisco-based William Tarantino is a key member of the team, particularly in light of his CPSC prowess, as is Purvi Patel in Los Angeles, who handles disputes for consumer-facing businesses, including privacy-related class actions brought against social media, e-commerce and tech apps.
