MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law
firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its Litigation Practice
with the addition of Nicole E.
Narotzky and Thomas R. Pack
as shareholders in the firm's Minneapolis office.
"We are thrilled to welcome Nicole and Tom to Greenberg Traurig
as we continue to grow the firm's presence in Minneapolis to meet significant client
demand," said Michael B. Fisco,
managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig's Minneapolis office.
Both Narotzky and Pack, who join the firm from Maslon LLP where
they were partners, have significant experience in products
liability litigation, particularly in the pharmaceutical and
medical device industries.
"With the exponential growth we are experiencing in our Products
Liability & Mass Torts Practice and Pharmaceutical, Medical
Device & Health Care Practice, it is key for Greenberg Traurig
to continue to add legal talent like Nicole and Tom to serve our
clients well," said Lori Cohen, vice
chair of Greenberg Traurig and co-chair of the firm's Global
Litigation Practice and Trial Practice. "Having worked with both of
these highly-skilled attorneys on matters in the past, we have seen
that they share the firm's strong commitment to client service and
excellence in law."
Narotzky centers her practice on products liability litigation,
with a focus on developing and overseeing strategy related to
complex medical and technical issues. She defends major medical
device and pharmaceutical manufacturers in federal and state courts
throughout the country. Narotzky has significant experience with
the issues of federal preemption and regulatory control over claims
involving FDA-approved medical devices.
"Greenberg Traurig's strong reputation for products liability
litigation defense and attorney collaboration across local,
national, and global markets and sectors makes the firm an
extremely attractive environment to grow my practice," said
Narotzky, who earned her J.D., magna cum laude, from University of Minnesota Law School, and her B.A.
from Brown University.
Pack focuses his practice on pharmaceutical and medical device
products liability matters and complex business litigation,
including litigation related to tribal nations. He has extensive
experience litigating cases involving FDA-regulated medical devices
and the application of federal preemption to product-liability
claims. He maintains an active pro bono practice, with an emphasis
on representing asylum seekers fleeing persecution due to LGBTQ+
sexual orientations and/or gender identities.
"Having access to a global platform where I can grow my practice
and serve clients wherever and whenever needed is extremely
important to me and one of the most important reasons I joined the
firm," said Pack, who earned his J.D. from Stanford Law School, and his B.A. from
East Central University. "In addition,
Greenberg Traurig's commitment to pro bono, justice, and
philanthropy was a big draw for me, given my own personal focus on
providing pro bono representation in the civil rights and
immigration law fields."
