Benesch safeguards well-known global and American brands facing bet-the-company litigation and investigations. Our team has successfully resolved hundreds of high-stakes cases across the nation at trial, on appeal and through strategic settlements. Learning our clients’ industries and products inside and out, we tailor our litigation strategies to defend what matters most—the products, brand and reputation of our clients.
Our team has tried numerous cases to verdict, prevailing in America’s most challenging jurisdictions and has defended clients facing thousands of claims in mass tort proceedings. We have coordinated national defense strategies for multinational clients and successfully resolved claims through strategic settlements, expert challenges and favorable regulatory outcomes. Our experience includes defeating class certification, challenging experts under Daubert and Frye standards, negotiating major penalty reductions and managing a significant number of global recalls.
