Thomas Rouhette will now lead the global Product Liability practice of Hogan Lovells.

Thomas was called to the Paris Bar in 1992 and heads the Litigation practice in Hogan Lovells' Paris office, which is one of the largest practices in Paris.

He specializes in commercial litigation and product liability disputes and regularly appears before the French commercial, civil, and criminal courts on behalf of leading French and international clients.

Twelve Hogan Lovells partners, covering seven different countries, were notably mentioned in "International Who's Who of Business Lawyers - Product Liability Defence 2012."
