New York – Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath has strengthened its legal team by adding seasoned medical device litigator Daniel Smulian as a partner in its New York office. With nearly two decades of experience at Greenberg Traurig, Smulian is set to enhance the firm’s product liability and mass torts practice.
Smulian’s extensive experience in litigation encompasses guiding clients through various stages of legal proceedings, including pre-trial motions, discovery phases, and both trials and appeals. Throughout his career, he has played key roles in multiple trial teams, managing the discovery process across hundreds of active cases and leading successful appeals of trial court decisions.
Additionally, Smulian’s expertise is not limited to product liability and mass torts; he has also represented clients in consumer class actions, trade secret disputes, and other complex commercial issues. His work often involves overseeing cases within multidistrict litigations and consolidated proceedings, effectively representing clients whether they are engaged in single-plaintiff actions or larger, multi-case disputes.
Smulian primarily works with clients in the global business sector, focusing particularly on medical device and life science companies. He has also been actively involved in pro bono work, advising clients on family law in New York’s court system.
Amy Fiterman, the leader of Faegre Drinker’s product liability and mass torts group, spoke highly of Smulian’s contributions, stating that his proven ability to navigate complex litigation scenarios will greatly benefit the firm. She emphasized that his addition not only broadens the firm’s influence in a vital legal market but also improves its capacity to provide comprehensive service to clients nationwide.
Laura Appleby, who oversees the New York office, noted that Smulian’s strategic insight and dedication to achieving positive results, even under challenging circumstances, are tremendous assets. His recruitment significantly boosts the firm’s presence in the product liability sector, an area marked for growth.
This latest appointment follows the earlier addition of Michael Stark and Tom Pack to the product liability group, further solidifying Faegre Drinker’s commitment to expanding its capabilities in this critical practice area.
