DLA Piper LLP (US)

DLA Piper LLP (US)’s product liability automotive subgroup excels in defending transport, automotive companies, and multinational manufacturers in addressing complex litigation across federal and state courts in the US, working primarily out of the Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Washington DC offices. The team works with clients such as Hyundai Mobis, British Airways, and KLM in matters relating to manufacturing, safety standards, regulatory compliance, and product liability claims. The team’s notable recent achievements include significant victories for Hyundai Mobis in a multidistrict litigation, and for KLM in a putative class action. The subgroup is led by Matthew Goldberg, a recognized leader in class actions and cross-border discovery issues, while the team also benefits from the expertise of Paul Hemmersbaugh, a former chief counsel to the national Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), who advises on regulatory risks and strategies.
