Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P.

Shook, Hardy & Bacon's practice includes product liability, mass tort, and complex litigation, with work involving healthcare, technology, environmental issues, insurance, and intellectual property. Its disputes often require engagement with technical or scientific evidence. That relationship between legal advocacy and scientific subject matter is a recurring feature of its published services.

Its toxic tort and exposure practice provides a concrete example. Matters can involve alleged contamination of air, land, or water, claims of personal injury or property damage, and questions about class certification. The firm describes developing factual, legal, medical, and environmental evidence for use before judges and juries.

For students, the practice demonstrates how litigation can depend on understanding expert evidence and the methods supporting it. The work is not limited to legal doctrine: the technical record and the explanation of causation may be central to a case. Shook's service materials show those issues across several categories of business and product disputes.
