construction-related products, or through corporate consolidation, are now responsible for the liabilities related to those products. In his mass tort practice, Mr. Hudock served on the national coordinating and trial counsel teams for clients facing thousands of mass tort claims pending in nearly every jurisdiction in the United States.
For over two decades, he acted as the point of contact for his clients, coordinating the day-to-day litigation events with local counsel across the country related to pleadings, fact, and corporate witness deposition coverage, expert retentions, case analysis, settlement negotiations, and trial preparation. Mr. Hudock's experience allows him to efficiently manage litigation events to reduce client costs and quickly identify cases that may pose a significant trial risk so that the national coordinating counsel team and the client can best focus their efforts and assets where needed.
