Indianapolis, Ind. – Faegre Drinker has announced the return of Peter Meyer as a partner in its product liability and mass torts group at the firm’s Indianapolis office. Previously, Meyer held the position of Associate General Counsel at Exactech, where he focused on legal challenges in the medical products sector.
Meyer brings a wealth of experience in defending clients against high-stakes multidistrict litigation and mass tort claims. His expertise largely centers on medical device litigation, offering clients a strategic advantage in navigating complex legal scenarios.
“Peter is notably skilled in the medical device arena,” said Amy Fiterman, leader of the product liability and mass torts group. “His prior in-house experience enriches our defense strategies in mass tort cases, and we are pleased to have him return to the firm.”
Throughout his career, Meyer has served as co-lead defense counsel in various multidistrict litigations, achieving favorable outcomes for leading medical device companies. His hands-on approach encompasses every aspect of litigation, from electronic discovery to trial preparation. He is also known for negotiating settlement programs that aim to expedite resolutions and minimize the risk of further unmeritorious claims through Lone Pine orders.
Brian Garrison, leader of the Indianapolis office, expressed enthusiasm for Meyer’s return, stating, “We are excited to have Peter back at Faegre Drinker. His background aligns perfectly with our product liability team’s mission to support top manufacturers in Indiana.”
Meyer holds a Bachelor of Arts degree, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Toledo, and earned his Juris Doctor degree, magna cum laude, from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law. His academic achievements reflect the dedication he brings to the legal field.
This strategic addition is expected to enhance Faegre Drinker’s capabilities in defending its clients, particularly in the dynamic landscape of medical product litigation.
