Product Liability & Recall
Product liability represents a serious challenge to any business, requiring experienced and pragmatic legal advice. Pinsent Masons' Product Liability Team has exceptional experience to draw on in minimising risks before problems arise and in reducing downsides and maximising recoveries where product failures have occurred.
In addressing risks and in dealing with crises, the Team deploys our award winning Reaching Solutions project management methodology. This identifies tasks, resources and timescales via gant charts and develops options and choice evaluation through the use of decision trees. The aim is to put the client in the driving seat with a clear view of issues, options, risks and outcomes.
On the Crisis Planning Agenda, we have also developed a template product Crisis Manual. This offers clients a pre-developed model for setting up a process for handling crises when they arise. It identifies the information which should be established, flow diagrams for decision-making, team details and other information which it will be essential to have readily to hand should problems arise.
In meeting the challenges of product liability, Pinsent Masons' experience covers risk identification, assessment and management, insurance, product recall, loss recovery claims and defences, brand protection and dealing with the regulators. See the links below for further information.
