News

Tina M. Schaefer is a trial lawyer with extensive experience in all aspects of commercial litigation, product liability litigation, and complex litigation. Tina has litigated cases in state and federal courts across the country, including in some of the nation's most difficult jurisdictions. Her experience includes both multidistrict litigation and individual cases involving the defense of a firearms manufacturer in municipal firearms litigation, a major defense verdict for a well-known armaments manufacturer and government contractor, asbestos litigation, and the dismissal of nearly 16,000 silica exposure cases.  Tina was extensively involved in the management and trial of multiple “Engle Progeny” tobacco cases in Florida and served as second chair at trial.  Recent matters have included patent infringement litigation, pre-suit investigation and counseling for pharmaceutical clients, vaccine-related litigation in international jurisdictions, litigation audits, and work on the opioid litigation currently pending in various state courts and a federal MDL. Tina’s experience across a broad range of cases, from early case development through trial, provides clients with an efficient yet complete assessment of key evidence and issues critical to shaping case strategy.
