Product Liability, Mass Tort & Environmental Consulting

Whether corporations are actively involved in litigation or face the future possibility, they struggle with financial uncertainty caused by issues surrounding current, historical and future products and environmental concerns. This uncertainty can have damaging effects on the company’s stock price and financial future and may lead to corporate bankruptcy.

ARPC employs some of the industry’s foremost experts in the area of (1) quantifying potential losses, (2) allocating losses to insurance, and (3) managing the claims process. We have consulted on a variety of product liability and environmental matters, ranging from the highest profile multi-billion dollar case to assessing the probability of potential losses in a small private acquisition. We have assisted numerous asbestos defendants and asbestos trusts.  We have also been involved with various other product liability cases including, breast implants, IUDs, Albuterol, Fen-Phen and many others.

Our environmental expertise is a particular strength: we have consulted on matters including the Love Canal waste site, the Three Mile Island nuclear incident, Times Beach dioxin spill, Mississippi DDT contamination, Piper-Alpha North Sea oil platform and many others.
