Housed within the firm’s overarching product liability and mass torts team, which is co-headed by Steven Brody in Washington DC and Sabrina Strong in Los Angeles, while it may be less specialized than some in the space, O'Melveny & Myers LLP is able to lean into market-leading capabilities for sprawling class action cases gleaned from its product liability prowess. Many of the firm’s mandates take place within the life sciences sector, with work often straddling both product liability and toxic tort areas. Here, the firm is also well-placed to represent clients in multi-pronged investigations, being as comfortable handling private litigation as it is when dealing with the government.
