People

Luke Bosso focuses on toxic tort litigation from prelitigation risk assessments through jury trials.  Leveraging his scientific background, Luke routinely works with preeminent experts from the world’s leading scientific institutions to analyze issues surrounding exposure, risk, and medical causation.  Luke has significant experience taking expert depositions and has successfully argued to exclude experts in high-stakes litigation.  Luke also served as a core member of the science teams in two pharmaceutical product litigations that successfully excluded Plaintiffs’ general causation experts that resulted in summary judgment and dismissal for tens of thousands of claims.

In addition to his litigation practice, Luke also advises companies about pre-litigation risk assessments for emerging safety-related inquiries. He helps companies respond to investigations and inquiries launched by regulatory bodies, customers, and other third-party stakeholders. He can also help in-house counsel implement best practices for investigating safety-related concerns and minimizing risk.

Prior to law school, Luke earned a Master of Science degree in Pharmacy, concentrating in Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, which he leverages to distill complex technical issues for judges and juries. He also earned his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. While attending law school, Luke served as the Georgetown Editor-in-Chief of the Food and Drug Law Journal. He also practiced as a student attorney at Georgetown’s medical-legal partnership clinic and taught Street Law in D.C. Public Schools.
