About Attorney Awards

Product Liability

Taft attorneys have extensive experience in litigation involving substantial product liability claims. Our practice includes a broad cross section of U.S. and international businesses in claims of alleged manufacturing or design defects, inadequate warnings, breach of warranty and negligence. Our broad experience in product liability cases enables us to help clients fairly evaluate the merits of the case and, if appropriate, the advisability of settlement.

If trial is necessary, we have the experience to prepare and try the strongest case in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We appreciate that judges and juries often perceive the demeanor of trial attorneys as a reflection of the values and attitudes of the clients they represent. We treat opposing parties and witnesses with respect, and we treat opposing counsel with civility and professionalism.

Diversity

embracing the benefits of many perspectives.

At Taft, we are committed to creating an inclusive culture of individuals from diverse backgrounds.  This commitment allows us to fulfill our primary mission—serving our clients to the highest standards of professional excellence.  But a diverse culture benefits our professionals as well:  it fosters teamwork and opportunities for professional growth and personal satisfaction. 

Taft gives fair and equal treatment to all employees and applicants for employment regardless of race, gender, color, ancestry, religion or creed, age, national origin, disability, marital or civil union status, familial status, veteran status, or sexual orientation.  More than that, Taft actively seeks to hire and promote diverse, talented professionals. 

The following examples highlight Taft’s efforts to foster diversity in the firm:

  • Recruitment.  Taft participates in and sponsors internships and clerkships that provide substantive legal experience to women, law students of color and law students from a variety of diverse backgrounds.  Taft actively recruits these individuals by working collaboratively with student organizations and attending job fairs, conferences and workshops. 
  • Retention.  Retention of our attorneys is a key element of the firm’s long-term success.  We nurture well-rounded professionals from a variety of backgrounds through mentoring, training and professional development programs.  Beyond just retaining valued members of our team, we seek to provide them with the skills to enable them to continue to grow as attorneys.
  • Work and life balance.  Taft recognizes that a healthy balance between a professional's work and private life is essential to lasting success, for both the individual and the firm.  Taft offers alternative work-scheduling programs, remote access, flexible hours and countless opportunities for meaningful community involvement both within and outside of Taft.
  • Promotion and leadership.  Taft is proud that 60% of its new partners in the last four years were women.  Diverse professionals  also are involved in firm leadership and actively participate in recruiting and mentoring.

These examples provide a clear perspective on Taft’s commitment to its diversity mission.  And while Taft has made great strides in improving its diversity, we constantly strive to find new and better ways to promote diversity as a meaningful part of the way we do business.
