Our
firm is an innovative, aggressive and responsive defense trial firm
providing quality legal representation at reasonable fees. We are
a regional firm with offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and Wilmington, Delaware.
Our
clients include large national insurance, commercial and manufacturing
companies as well as small and medium-sized corporations, closely-held
businesses and individuals. We are a litigation firm with skilled
trial attorneys and our practice concentrates on complex civil litigation
including products liability for commercial and consumer products
(e.g. vehicle manufacturers, paint and coatings manufacturers and
medical device manufacturers); construction litigation; medical
malpractice; professional liability; toxic and mass tort litigation;
appellate litigation; and workers' compensation litigation.
Our
philosophy in defending cases for our clients is to achieve the
best result in the most cost-effective manner. In the more complex
cases, this will often involve the delegation of work to an associate
and/or a paralegal at correspondingly lower rates, with the partner
having the authority as well as supervisory control over the manner
and method of work. The partner retains ultimate file responsibility
and will personally handle the important functions of a case, including
significant depositions and trial.
Our
partners and associates are active in a number of defense-oriented
organizations, including the Philadelphia Association of Defense
Counsel, Pennsylvania Claims Association, Pennsylvania Defense Institute,
the Defense Research Institute (DRI), the Federation
of Insurance and Corporate Counsel (FICC), and the International
Association of Defense Counsel (IADC).
In
addition, our attorneys speak and lecture extensively on substantive
and procedural matters related to the successful defense of civil
cases.
