Washington, DC (September 29, 2016) – Venable's Product Liability and Commercial Litigation practices were recently recognized by BTI in its Litigation Outlook 2017: Changes, Trends and Opportunities for Law Firms as among the top 18 firms in Product Liability Litigation and the top 21 in Commercial Litigation.
Published annually by BTI Consulting Group, the sixth edition of BTI Litigation Outlook focuses on trends in the litigation market, how client behaviors are changing, and what firms can do to adapt to those changes. Rankings are based on in-depth interviews with leading corporate counsel and feature a comprehensive analysis of client spending, goals, priorities, and needs.
This is the latest high-profile recognition for Venable’s Product Liability and Mass Torts practice. Earlier this year, BTI Consulting ranked the group among the top 10 practices nationally for its strength and commitment to clients in the pharmaceutical industry. The group also won the coveted Chambers USA Client Service Award, which recognizes select firms that are consistently singled out by clients during the course of Chambers' research for the quality and range of their client service.
With nearly 200 trial attorneys, including former government prosecutors and eight members of the American College of Trial Lawyers, Venable boasts one of the most active and respected litigation practices in the country. The Product Liability Group represents clients in matters involving pharmaceuticals and medical devices, asbestos, tobacco, automobiles, industrial chemicals, and consumer electronics.
