Leveraging significant broad-based product liability expertise, as well as overarching healthcare and life sciences sector strength that draws from a multi-disciplinary offering encompassing, inter alia, expertise in regulatory matters and government investigations, Jones Day is well-placed to quickly and effectively mobilize resources to help protect major pharmaceutical and medical device companies against challenging multi-pronged disputes. Atlanta-based Stephanie Parker  oversees the product liability practice and is one of many experienced litigators with significant trial experience with respect to matters in the life sciences space; she recently won summary judgment for a pharmaceutical company in a highly publicized case alleging death by suicide allegedly caused by a popular dermatologic drug. Chicago-based first-chair trial lawyer José Isasi is also a key member of the team, as is up-and-coming Detroit-based trial lawyer Celeste Brecht .
