Lisa Gilford is one of the nation’s preeminent first-chair trial lawyers. She represents a diverse range of high-profile clients in the automotive, pharmaceutical, communications, oil and gas, aerospace and chemical manufacturing, sports and higher education fields. Gilford is routinely engaged to lead her clients’ most challenging and significant class actions, multi-district litigation, products liability matters and large-scale commercial disputes. Particularly adept at handling matters with scientific or technical aspects, Gilford frequently works with engineers, physicians, computer scientists, economists, and other technical experts to prepare them for deposition and trial. As a result, she is often retained to provide litigation mitigation and counseling services for clients and is similarly in high demand to provide contingent liability and litigation risk assessments in connection with large corporate transactions. She is skilled at managing and coordinating crisis litigation with multiple legal challenges and sensitive public relations issues.
