DLA Piper partner Jessica Wilson named a Law360 Life Sciences Rising Star

DLA Piper is pleased to announce that partner Jessica Wilson has been named a 2022 Law360 Life Sciences Rising Star.

Wilson was one of just five life sciences attorneys nationwide selected by Law360 for its annual list of Rising Stars, highlighting the top attorneys in the country under 40 “whose legal accomplishments belie their age.” This year’s Rising Star winners were selected from more than 1,300 submissions. In its profile of Wilson, the publication highlighted her work guiding Pfizer through multidistrict product liability litigation, as well as her role advising on the development of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“The amount of work, effort, thoughtfulness and late nights put in by the Pfizer team was phenomenal. I couldn't be prouder of their successes and was excited to play a role in that,” Wilson told Law360.

In her practice, Wilson focuses on the defense of pharmaceutical, life science and medical device companies in a variety of cases, including multidistrict product liability litigation and complex commercial litigation. She also counsels pharmaceutical clients on research and development, risk management and other compliance issues.
