Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP

With a nationwide presence that was recently enhanced by the recruitment of a team from Bowman and Brooke LLP, including new offices in Dallas and San Diego, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP is increasingly well-positioned to handle cases across the US. ‘Taking the time to truly understand a product from inception to alleged failure’, the team, which is led by Mark Jones and Alana Bassin from South Carolina and Minneapolis respectively, is adept at handling work throughout the litigation continuum, often working across offices, ensuring clients receive a ’responsive, business-savvy and cost-effective’ service. Alongside its acclaimed work for auto manufacturers, the firm has gained a particularly strong reputation for advising on asbestos-related matters for talc manufacturers, an area in which Baltimore-based trial lawyer Mike Brown is noted. Virginia-based Sandra Ezell, who was one of the new arrivals from Bowman and Brooke LLP, is praised for her ‘outstanding judgment on every aspect of a case’, including product liability matters, acting for manufacturers of consumer electronics products.
