With our office across the street from the Madison County Courthouse and only 25 miles away from downtown St. Louis, we provide clients with reliable “on-the-ground” representation in some of the country’s most active toxic and mass tort jurisdictions.
Joining Wilson Elser’s national network in January 2015, the attorneys in our Edwardsville, IL, office focus on the defense of civil litigation in the areas of toxic tort, mass tort, product liability, medical malpractice, general liability, insurance disputes, and environmental and commercial matters. In close proximity to St. Louis and at the center of Madison County, a venue well recognized for its concentration of toxic tort and mass tort cases, we represent a broad spectrum of Fortune 500 companies as well as insurance carriers and their insureds. Our attorneys serve clients in Southern Illinois and well beyond, always placing the highest premium on giving them the attention they demand and deserve while managing the thousands of mass tort cases frequently involved in asbestos and related litigation.
In addition, we offer ready access to virtually any legal service, drawing on the collective experience resident among our own attorneys and our colleagues throughout the broader firm. Wilson Elser’s national practice team structure, leveraging the benefits of technology, makes it possible for one point of contact to marshal any or all of the resources our clients require to advance even their most ambitious legal objectives.
