When cases can\u2019t be resolved through a reasonable resolution, or when the proof or liability theory is problematic, we stand ready to go to trial. Asbestos litigation has morphed and rejuvenated into a different type of case and risk as compared to even a few years ago. With a continuous wave of changing liability pictures, new companies are being brought into this litigation every day. We\u2019re attuned to the novel theories and adapt by bringing creative solutions to help our clients make sound decisions. We\u2019re often working on the other side of the same plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys who already know us for our reputation, careful preparation, and congenial dealings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re proactive in looking for ways to resolve these cases quickly. We develop a thorough understanding of a client\u2019s business and history to determine the best defense strategies for protecting their organization. For our national and international clients, we work closely with coordinating counsel to prepare our cases for trial, including complying with local rules, performing investigations, and trying the cases in a lead or supporting role. We\u2019ve been involved as national trial attorneys for several clients who ask us to try cases in other jurisdictions because of our exceptional record of success at trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Deep team ready to respond at a moment\u2019s notice\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullivant\u2019s nationally-recognized team has tried numerous asbestos cases. We\u2019ve seen what these cases look like from start to finish and bring that complete perspective to assess cases early on to determine whether a resolution can be reached short of trial. Our attorneys are highly skilled at developing meaningful discovery with our clients&#8217; end objective in mind, whether that is to defend through trial or secure early dismissals through alternative dispute resolution or motion practice. We\u2019re ready to react very quickly to changing circumstances and issues as they arise and do the urgent work needed to preserve our client\u2019s rights. Our team is prepared, even on short notice, to take a case through verdict if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Results from trying more cases in the Pacific Northwest than any other firm<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have resolved the vast majority of our asbestos cases with no payment of settlement funds by our clients, either by obtaining voluntary dismissals following initial discovery or prevailing on summary judgment motions. When trial is necessary, however, we bring our extensive courtroom experience and superior advocacy for which our team is known. Our results are based on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streamlining defense and eliminating routine discovery through years of experience in asbestos litigation\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compiling extensive resources including brief banks, technical data, and a network of experts known nationally in the asbestos arena\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consolidating efforts on behalf of multiple clients and saving the defendant&#8217;s overall costs\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Creative and thoughtful approach to a sensitive situation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of a cookie-cutter approach, our team offers a creative and fresh look at each case. When our clients\u2019 businesses are at stake, we provide peace of mind under stressful circumstances and take the burden off of our clients. With many moms on our team, we bring order to chaos, and calm and compassion to an emotional situation, and figure out the non-monetary issues driving the case. We\u2019re emotionally in tune with what the stressors could be and have a good sense of how things may unfold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Types of clients<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
