Frank Woodside

Nationally-known trial lawyer representing manufacturers of pharmaceutical and medical devices, chemicals and flavorings as well as producers of consumer products. Over a period of more than 45 years, I have tried 80+ cases, serving as primary trial counsel in medical malpractice, product liability and mass tort cases. A background to practice medicine and surgery for nearly 40 years affords me added knowledge and insight I use to my clients' advantage in preparing for and defending high-stakes litigation. My clients include Fortune 500 companies, health care providers and hospitals. My experience includes serving as national trial counsel and MDL counsel for Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals in the Bendectin birth defect litigation; Procter & Gamble in the Rely tampon/toxic shock syndrome litigation; Dow Corning Corporation in the silicone gel breast implant litigation; and Rugby Laboratories in the Fen-Phen litigation. He also served as trial counsel for Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation in the smoking and health litigation, International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. in the microwave popcorn butter flavoring litigation, and Procter & Gamble in the Denture Adhesive Cream litigation.
