Product liability

Coordinated product liability strategy for a changing risk landscape  

Freshfields

Product liability risk is moving fast. As legislators, regulators, plaintiffs and courts extend liability theories beyond traditional physical goods, global businesses need coordinated advice across litigation, regulation and risk.

Our top-tier global product liability risk and liability team helps clients respond to that challenge. We defend complex international product and consumer claims, often as coordinating counsel, and support businesses in their engagement with – and where necessary, challenge to – regulatory agencies.

We also help clients anticipate what comes next. As liability expands to digital products, AI-enabled services, new categories of defendant a new forms of harm, we work with businesses to assess exposure, manage risk and shape effective cross-border strategies.

Our team has also developed a market-leading regulatory monitoring tool, giving clients direct, interactive access to insights from counsel across around 150 markets. The tool covers more than 80 questions across four product categories, helping businesses track regulatory developments and respond with greater confidence.
