San Diego's history is one of tenacity and perseverance. Over the years, the city has withstood many economic strains, only to overcome them every time.
During the last few decades, San Diego's leaders made a commitment to diversify the economy, as a hedge against economic ups and downs. As a result, the city now has businesses- particularly in high technology industries- that meet the needs of residents and the many tourists who relish its climate and location near the Pacific Ocean.
As the population and the range of businesses have increased, so has the need for legal representation. Wilson Elser opened its San Diego office in 1997 to serve this growing community. Our attorneys provide clients with superior service in many litigation areas, including construction, product liability, environment/toxic tort, professional liability, corporate, employment, general liability and insurance coverage/bad faith.
We forge close working relationships with our clients, so we thoroughly understand and can anticipate needs. We work hard to exceed expectations, and our reputation has allowed us to build a varied client roster.
Our attorneys provide a broad range of services in the area of product liability. We represent a number of manufacturers, retailers and distributors in cases involving consumer, automotive, pharmaceutical, industrial and electronic products. Attorneys in our San Diego office also have in-depth experience acting as national coordinating counsel in mass tort litigation, including both class actions and federal multidistrict cases.
Our technical experience extends to insurance coverage litigation. Among the challenges we handle is representation of insurers in complex multiple-party coverage disputes. Directors and officers of corporations rely on our skill in proceedings brought by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Professionals in a variety of fields look to us for defense in professional liability cases. We are experienced in defending claims against architects; civil, mechanical, electrical, structural and soil engineers; attorneys; real estate professionals; and physicians.
