Marina G. McGuire

Partner

Marina McGuire focuses her practice on handling all aspects of complex and high-stakes products liability and environmental and toxic tort litigation. Her practice is predominantly concentrated on the defense of large companies, including pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, in both federal and state court.

With a curated track record of success, Ms. McGuire handles matters ranging from individual actions to large-scale mass torts and other forms of MDL. Her experience specifically includes pharmaceutical, medical device and environmental matters.

Ms. McGuire heavily involves herself in all stages of litigation in coordination with in-house and co-counsel, when applicable, to develop effective legal strategies through the entire life of a case. This includes discovery, motion practice, depositions, expert work and preparing for trial. In mass tort matters, she brings the capability of leading jury and bench trials but also regularly utilizes the full spectrum of traditional and alternative dispute resolution methods, including assisting with mediations and arbitrations or seeking settlements beneficial to her clients.

In addition, Ms. McGuire conducts complex compliance investigations involving governmental regulations and employment issues impacting pharmaceutical companies.

Prior to entering private practice, Ms. McGuire served as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. Bruce A. Gaeta in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen Vicinage. In addition, she was temporarily assigned as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. Charles J. Walsh in the same venue.
