Compose by Casetext enables efficient, consistent drafting for high-volume — and often high-stakes — Products Liability motions
SAN FRANCISCO, CA: Casetext today announces its next Compose collection — Products Liability: Pharmaceuticals & Medical Device. This introduces Compose’s 4x increase in efficiency to a legal practice that comprises over 56,000 federal and hundreds of thousands of state court cases per year. Last year, there were over 10,000 mass torts in Philadelphia alone — just one of the nation’s hot spots for products liability litigation, where verdicts can reach billions of dollars.
“We’re very excited to announce Products Liability as our next area of focus for Compose,” said Casetext CEO Jake Heller. “Finding cost-effective ways to provide high-quality representation is a top priority for many of our customer firms. We are confident that Compose can help by enabling them to efficiently address a high volume of products liability cases, while at the same time ensuring they never miss an argument in a high-stakes case.”
“I am excited that Compose is now ready to start delivering dynamic templates for Products Liability for state and Federal courts for motions that are constantly needed. Compose’s technology is game changing and an innovation that will be helpful to our firm and our clients,” said Vince Galvin, Executive Managing Partner at Bowman and Brooke.
The Compose Products Liability: Pharmaceuticals & Medical Device Collection covers 20 motions, all tailored specifically to substantive legal issues arising in pharmaceuticals and medical device products liability litigation:
The following motions are immediately available to Compose clients:
The remaining motions in the collection will be rolled out in early 2021. Casetext is also offering one month of free access to a limited number of firms that request access before the end of the year. Firms can apply for access at https://compose.law/products-liability-motions.
