We also have successfully defended in Massachusetts federal court a national chemical manufacturer against products-based claims by a Massachusetts manufacturer seeking indemnification for several hundred lawsuits nationwide. We have also helped manufacturers develop and implement nationwide strategies that get carried out over decades of litigation.
