E-coli outbreaks, salmonella claims, alleged nutritional mislabeling and other food safety issues are making national headlines and activists and plaintiffs lawyers are shouting the food industry is to blame.
Our lawyers have the know-how and litigation experience needed to help food companies fight these cases, even before they are filed.
Bowman and Brooke has built a national reputation in defending international brand-name corporations in complex, high exposure catastrophic case. What we've learned in the manufacturing, engineering and health sciences for the automotive, drug and medical and chemical industries, we have applied directly to the food industry. We understand how the body is affected by what is ingested or is exposed to. We also know how to translate that complex science into simple and understandable language to a jury.
We have defended food manufacturers and the hospitality industry in alleged food contamination litigation, contracts and franchise disputes, employment law matters and other product and premises liability issues. Our Food Safety Litigation Team is ready to help you preventively anticipate, aggressively defend your company and communicate that message -- both inside and outside the courtroom.
However, we do more than just try cases; we enable our clients to settle early and cost-effectively the cases that should be settled. Our trial experience works inside and outside the courtroom, as our opponents know settlement is not a foregone conclusion. Also, under an Early Disposition Program we pioneered, we will thoroughly investigate, evaluate and recommend whether to “try or buy” a case within 90 days after its filing.
