Bowman and Brooke LLP

As one of the core industry groups within litigation boutique Bowman and Brooke LLP ‘s acclaimed product liability defense offering, pharmaceutical and medical devices work accounts for a significant volume of work for lawyers  throughout its national network of offices. The firm’s roles run the gamut from regional and local counsel, through to trial and national co-ordinating positions, with a collaborative style of working that is a great advantage on large-scale cases involving co-counsels and co-defendants. Drawing upon deep and longstanding expertise within the space, Minneapolis-based Kim Schmid has taken multiple cases to verdict in both state and federal courts, and as well as handling product liability class actions and MDLs in conventional matters – including as it relates to mesh products and breast implants – is also driving the firm’s efforts in relation to emerging litigation involving virtual clinical trials and biologics. Austin-based Randall Christian , who co-heads the team alongside Schmid, is also well-versed in trying traditional product liability cases in the space, as well as having niche expertise defending pharmaceutical companies in pricing and third-party payor litigation.
