Kentucky Aviation and Multidistrict Litigation Attorneys

Multidistrict and complex litigation defense

Multidistrict litigation is a unique procedure with which many attorneys are unfamiliar. At the Lexington, Kentucky law firm of Nichols Walter PLLC, our attorneys have experience defending asbestos manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies in claims involving such drugs as Vioxx®, Prempro® and Ephedra, typically in the Southern District of New York.

Defending on a multidistrict stage requires an understanding of issues outside the defendant's jurisdiction and the ability to work with experts and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, including insurers, medical professionals, technical specialists, engineers and manufacturers. Our experience and dedication to preparation and discovery management allow us to find creative solutions for our clients — and to achieve successful outcomes.

Aviation defense

Our attorneys also have experience representing airlines, component part manufacturers and other commercial carriers. As a result of that experience, we have developed the knowledge necessary to effectively handle a wide variety of aviation and other complex cases.
