He serves as national and local counsel in numerous multi-district litigations for life sciences clients, overseeing hundreds of cases to completion and negotiating countless settlements.

Gladstone’s practice includes a wide array of high-profile product liability actions involving power tools, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, personal care products, consumer-use products, and products named in class action PFAS litigation. He also has extensive experience handling both civil and criminal environmental matters, including CERCLA actions, addressing claims of property damages, stigmatization, and personal injury alleged in response to exposure to mold, mixed chemical exposures, PFAS, residential heating oil, and other environmental factors.
