The 2017 edition of Best Lawyers in America lists MG+M lawyers based on an exhaustive national peer-review survey. Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence.
Harry L. Manion III was selected in the areas of Commercial Litigation, Corporate Law, and Mass Tort Litigation. Harry's 37-year record of results across a broad legal spectrum has placed him on the short list of go-to lawyers, locally, nationally, and globally. Within the last five years, Harry resolved the most significant legal challenges facing Koch Industries, Lukoil, Nike, and Sodexo (for whom he has been national litigation counsel since 1986).
During the same period, Harry and his Dutch co-counsel secured a $66 million judgment in Amsterdam District Court for a large Dutch pharmaceutical company's pension fund against its global financial advisor. Currently, Harry is Lead Trial Counsel in the Southern District of New York for a target defendant in the largest admiralty case in the U.S.
John B. Manning was selected for his extensive expertise in Mass Tort Litigation and Class Action Defense. Mr. Manning serves as the Chair of Manion Gaynor & Manning's Products Liability and Complex Tort Litigation Group, and concentrates his practice in products liability, toxic torts, asbestos defense, mass torts, litigation management, food liability, professional liability, pharmaceutical and medical device litigation, environmental litigation, class actions, commercial and insurance disputes. He represents dozens of corporations in litigation throughout the country and serves on several clients' National Trial Teams. In addition, as National Coordinating Counsel for multiple products manufacturers, he directs all aspects of the defense of more than 200,000 asbestos lawsuits pending in all 50 states.
John will also serve as Co-Chair for the eighth consecutive year at the upcoming Perrin Conferences' 2016 Asbestos Litigation Conference: A National Overview & Outlook, taking place September 12-14, at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California.
Max Swetman was selected in the area of Product Liability Defense, as well as for Mass Tort Litigation and Class Action Defense.

These include individual claims as well as mass torts. In addition to a law degree, Max holds a Master's Degree in Environmental Science and Policy and a Master's of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology.
