A formidable advocate in a complex product liability case

When our manufacturing company was named in a major product liability suit, the potential exposure was staggering. We needed counsel who was not only technically brilliant but could navigate the high-stakes pressure of multi-district litigation. Jessica Laffitte of Gallivan, White & Boyd was precisely that. From our first strategy session in her Columbia office, her command of the intricate details of South Carolina product liability law was evident. She meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's claims, guiding our internal team through a forensic discovery process that ultimately revealed critical flaws in their causation argument. Jessica’s recognition by Best Lawyers in Product Liability Litigation - Defendants is well-earned; her strategic foresight prevented the case from becoming a drawn-out, public battle. She negotiated a resolution that was not only favorable from a financial standpoint but also protected our company's reputation. Throughout the entire process, Jessica was a steady, communicative partner. She demystified complex legal concepts without ever talking down to us, ensuring we were empowered decision-makers. Her blend of deep substantive knowledge, pragmatic case management, and genuine client care is exceptional. We emerged from a potentially devastating situation stronger, thanks to her expertise.
