About Robert Simpson

I am a trial attorney with extensive experience in products liability litigation. My practice focuses on pharmaceutical and medical device litigation, as well as toxic tort cases. I have served as first or second chair trial counsel in more than 35 cases that have gone to verdict. For the last several years, I have served as lead trial counsel, national counsel, and local counsel for many global pharmaceutical and medical device companies, including Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries. I handle nationwide litigation relating to anticoagulants, hip implants, pelvic mesh, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and atypical antipsychotic medications, among other products. I manage all stages of pretrial proceedings, take and defend depositions of key experts, C-Suite, and other company witnesses throughout the United States and Europe, and brief and conduct Daubert and Frye challenges. My litigation practice includes multidistrict litigation, class actions, mass torts, and claims of unfair competition and false advertising. I also handle employment and commercial disputes. Outside the firm, I serve as a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, and as a trial instructor for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy and the American Bar Association. I frequently give presentations on e-discovery, the use of technology in the courtroom, deposition techniques, and litigation management. I have held top leadership positions in the ABA Litigation Section, the National Bar Association, and the Connecticut Bar Association. As part of my ABA and NBA roles, I have spearheaded several corporate counsel conferences that connect in-house counsel and law firms. These events provide opportunities to network with peers and to collaborate on issues within their industries. I am committed to providing my corporate clients with efficient case management through appropriate staffing and innovative technology.
