Overview:

This area comprises mass tort litigation and actions deriving from product liability, as well as suits for environmental damage. Suits of this kind, which have usually targeted at companies acting in the tobacco, beverages & liquor, food, chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and related industries, involve highly complex legal issues and oftentimes have a multijurisdictional reach.

The high-profile nature and significant repercussions of these claims, which may also be commenced by political entities (the federal, state and municipal governments, independent government entities, and the like) expose the company to challenges that urge a more sophisticated treatment than that accorded to ordinary litigation.

Mass tort litigation goes beyond the handling of legal variables only. The nature and magnitude of such disputes usually draw the attention of the press, government bodies, non-governmental organizations and a number of other opinion-making groups. Hence, a multitude of players and factors have a decisive role in mass tort litigation.

The challenges posed by these myriad factors are relatively new to Brazilian standards, and require the development of a detailed strategy and metholodogy to defend the company's interests. In addition to legal practitioners, a multidisciplinary staff must also come into action, comprising experts in forensic medicine and media, scientists and other relevant professionals. Oftentimes, this type of litigation demands a concerted action with international law firms and the creation of a crisis management committee.

This new scenario, in which the company's business is sometimes put at risk, urges a new client-attorney relationship, far closer than usual: a long-term partnership in which client and attorney develop a staff with variegated professionals working in synch and devising a defense strategy from its very outset, fully committed to the overall solution conceived for the problem.
