Troutman Pepper Partner Brett Ashton Mason has been elected to serve as a member of The American Law Institute, the leading independent organization in the United States producing scholarly work to clarify, modernize, and otherwise improve the law.
Mason was among 47 members elected in July. ALI membership is competitive – determined by professional achievement and demonstrated interest in improving the law – and consists of eminent judges, lawyers, and law professors from all areas of the United States and from many foreign countries.
ALI drafts, discusses, revises, and publishes Restatements of the Law, Model Codes, and Principles of Law that are enormously influential in the courts and legislatures, as well as in legal scholarship and education. Members influence the development of the law in both existing and emerging areas, work with other eminent lawyers, judges, and academics, give back to a profession to which they are deeply dedicated, and contribute to the public good.
At Troutman Pepper, Mason defends primarily pharmaceutical and medical device companies in litigation involving mass tort, personal injury, and wrongful death claims in state and federal courts across the United States. She has experience in all aspects of discovery, trial preparation, and trial practice including taking and defending depositions, motions practice, witness preparation, trial strategy development, and witness examinations at trial. She has experience serving as trial counsel in trials across the U.S., from California to Massachusetts to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
