Exceptional counsel for complex product liability defense

Our company faced a significant product liability claim that threatened both our finances and reputation. We engaged Eric Paine at Nelson Mullins, and his guidance was invaluable from day one. His deep knowledge of this specific defense arena, honed over years of practice, was immediately apparent. Eric meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's arguments, coordinated a formidable expert witness strategy, and navigated the procedural complexities with a steady hand. While his recognition by Best Lawyers in Product Liability Litigation is well-deserved, what truly impressed us was his ability to translate complex legal and scientific concepts into clear, actionable advice for our executive team. The matter was resolved favorably well before trial, saving immense cost and stress. Eric’s blend of strategic acumen, professionalism, and direct communication makes him an outstanding advocate for any business facing high-stakes litigation in South Carolina.
