Ford represents pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers in product liability cases in state and federal courts throughout the United States. Experienced in defending false advertising and unfair competition consumer class actions, he also defends medical providers in false advertising and related negligence claims.
“We are delighted that Ellen, Brendan, and their team have joined our firm,” said David J. Perry, Administrative Partner of K&L Gates’ Orange County office. “Their work for life sciences companies is top notch and nicely complements our full service life sciences practice.”
