COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Legal Media Group has named Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough Managing Partner David Dukes as one of the world's top five product liability defense lawyers based on nominations received for its Best of the Best of 2010 Expert Guides.

The publication profiles individuals considered by clients and peers to be the best in their field. The Best of the Best compiles the top 25 practitioners in 11 areas of law.
Dukes was named for his product liability practice, which focuses on pharmaceutical and medical device litigation, business litigation, technology law and litigation, and coordination of national litigation. He has served as national trial counsel for companies in the pharmaceutical, computer, and consumer products industries. He speaks throughout the country on pharmaceutical and medical device litigation and computer and technology-related litigation issues.
