Our pharmaceutical practice revolves around the representation of pharmacies and pharmacists in various forms of cases involving, among other things, allegations of pharmacy negligence and/or malpractice, as well as the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter medications. We have handled dozens of pharmacy-related cases around the country, including matters in California, Maryland, Montana, and Nevada, and are national counsel to various pharmacy chains in litigation involving, among other things, Quinine, Baycol, PPA, Rezulin, Serzone, Kava Kava and Ginseng.

We’ve also been selected as liaison counsel for retailers in several state and federal coordinated (MDL) proceedings, and currently represent all pharmacy retailers in the on-going federal court Celebrex/Bextra matters. We have tried cases to juries involving allegations of wrongful death, pharmacy negligence, and wrongful disclosure of medical records, and have defended cases involving allegations of failure to properly warn patients of the dangerous side effects of a given prescription. Our firm is one of the few in the country with a practice devoted to pharmacy law, and we take pride in our attorneys’ regular commitment to keeping apprised of developments in that area. We are members of the American Society of Pharmacy Law (“ASPL”), have recently spoken at numerous pharmacy law seminars, including ASPL and National Association of Chain Drug Stores’ (“NACDS”) conferences, and offer seminars to our clients in developing pharmacy law areas.

PRACTICING ATTORNEYS: Jonathan Allan Klein, Thomas K. Hockel, Annmarie M. Liermann, Anne F. Marchant, Rachel Hulst, and Kathryn Weeks.
