More Mass Tort Defense Moves in Big Law

The “mass tort” litigation industry continues to grow. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, many big law firms disdained “mass tort” defense work.

This past week, for example, Dechert recruited a group from Quinn Emanuel a group of almost 20 lawyers (plus staffers), as explained in a July 20, 2018 article at American Lawyer.
