Gardner Law Launches Litigation Practice with Renowned Attorney David Graham

Gardner Law is thrilled to announce the launch of its new litigation practice. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the firm, allowing it to provide comprehensive legal solutions to clients across the food, drug, medical device, and healthcare industries.

Litigation: Strategic Advocacy, Tailored Solutions.

We partner with our clients to resolve disputes and achieve the best possible outcomes. Our experienced attorneys understand that every dispute is unique, and we tailor our approach to protect client interests.

With a deep understanding of the legal landscape and a proven track record of success, we provide strategic guidance and aggressive advocacy to help our clients achieve the best possible outcomes efficiently and effectively.

Leading the charge is seasoned litigator David Graham, joining Gardner Law as Senior Counsel. With a distinguished career spanning decades, David brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success in high-stakes litigation. He has extensive experience defending companies against product liability claims, class actions, and government investigations, including those involving the False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute.

David's deep understanding of FDA, FTC, and USDA regulations, coupled with his sharp legal acumen and strategic thinking, makes him an invaluable asset to companies facing complex legal challenges. He is a skilled negotiator and a tenacious advocate in the courtroom, consistently delivering favorable outcomes for his clients.

David's expertise in the medical device sector is particularly noteworthy. He has successfully represented medical device manufacturers in a wide range of litigation matters, including:

• Product Liability: Defending manufacturers against claims involving artificial heart valves, penile implants, and diabetes monitors.
• Off-Label Marketing: Representing manufacturers in government investigations and related federal court cases.
• False Claims Act: Representing manufacturers in government investigations of alleged false claims.

"I am excited to join Gardner Law and spearhead the firm's new litigation practice," says David. "This expansion allows us to offer our clients a full spectrum of legal services, from regulatory compliance and counseling to aggressive litigation defense. I look forward to leveraging my experience and expertise to help our clients navigate the complexities of the legal landscape and achieve their business objectives."

David recently presented a three-part webinar series on government investigations where he explored best practices for defending against government investigations of your business, how to successfully negotiate government tactics, and the risks involved. View the sessions and watch the recordings here. David is also hosting a CLE on October 29, 2024 titled, "Managing Change: Chevron, FDA, Food Regulations and State Packaging Laws". Learn more and register here.

While Rebecca Zadaka and Lisa Damhof will continue to serve clients on the regulatory and compliance teams respectively, both are accomplished attorneys with diverse backgrounds and a passion for client service. Their experience will be invaluable resources to the firm's litigation practice, and their respective expertise in regulatory and compliance matters will be particularly valuable in cases involving complex scientific and regulatory issues.
