Overview

Clinton & Clinton has extensive experience in representing manufacturers, distributors and retailers in all facets of food preparation, distribution and use. Clinton & Clinton often represents food manufacturers in actions arising from foreign objects allegedly contained within the product, product contamination, and product-causing illnesses. With regards to distributors and retailers, we begin our representation with a review of any Hold Harmless Agreements to determine if a tender of defense to the manufacturer or other entity in the chain of commerce is appropriate.

Our approach to food manufacturing litigation includes understanding our clients' business, which will lead to better advocacy on our clients' behalf. Through an intimate knowledge of our clients, we can work with our clients to develop a litigation management plan that achieves a meaningful win for our client. In some cases, a win means a favorable jury verdict. For others, a win means the right settlement at the right time. Sometimes, a win just means advice that keeps a lawsuit or negative publicity from ever occurring.
