Daniel Kain is a partner in the firm’s Pennsylvania office, located on Philadelphia’s Main Line.  His practice focuses on product liability, subrogation, class actions, civil rights and commercial litigation. As a law student, Mr. Kain wrote an article that predicted the general liability claims made in the NFL concussion litigation.  Mr. Kain now serves as national counsel for clients within the sporting good and residential product industries.  He also works with clients in a number of other industries such as transportation, construction, energy, cosmetics and chemicals.

In addition to an active trial and appellate practice, Mr. Kain develops and executes defense strategies that increase the likelihood of trial success, reduce defense costs and deter future litigation.
