NOTE;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE: Paul S. Rosenlund practices primarily in the area of litigation, advising and representing business clients in a variety of areas, including products liability litigation and risk management; unfair competition and commercial disputes, including international arbitration; trade secrets; trademark, copyright and patent litigation; and class actions, including consumer protection, antitrust and unfair lending issues. He serves as national or regional counsel for manufacturers and distributors and has handled dozens of jury trials around the country.  He also counsels manufacturers, importers and retailers in trade regulation, franchise and distribution issues, resale price maintenance, and regarding product safety, recalls and compliance matters involving the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and its counterparts in other countries.  Many of his clients are European or Asian manufacturers, investors or insurers who benefit from national or international coordination of their legal affairs.

In addition to handling individual disputes and transactions, Mr. Rosenlund develops and manages systems for efficient control and handling of claims, litigation and discovery, including e-discovery, on a national and regional basis for international and domestic clients.  Closely connected with the sports and recreation and hospitality industries, Mr. Rosenlund advises hotel and resort operators in transactions and litigation matters, and he represents foreign and domestic manufacturers and distributors of products ranging from ski equipment to helmets, bicycles, in-line skates, ice skates, scuba gear, water sports, yachts and marine equipment, involving products liability, manufacturing and distribution issues, intellectual property licensing, labels and instructions, warranties, advertising and Internet commerce. A regular speaker and writer on these and related topics, he has recently spoken or written for organizations such as the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Boat and Yacht Council, the Defense Research Institute (DRI) and the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA). He also serves as judge pro tempore in the courts of Nevada and Placer counties.

Although his practice primarily involves representing business interests, Mr. Rosenlund also represents deserving individuals and organizations in carefully screened plaintiffs' cases. He recently concluded representing the plaintiffs in a class action suit against a major consumer electronics company which settled for more than $200 million after the court certified a national class.  He represented the plaintiffs in one of California's largest plaintiff personal injury verdicts to have withstood an appeal (nearly $30 million).

Mr. Rosenlund is a member of the American Bar Association, the Association of Ski Defense Attorneys (past president), the Bar Association of San Francisco, Consumer Attorneys of California, the Defense Research Institute (chair, Recreational Products Specialized Litigation Group), the International Bar Association, the Maritime Law Association of the United States (former chair, Subcommittee on Maritime Products Liability), and the Tahoe-Truckee Bar Association.  He serves as a member of the Planning Commission of the City of Belvedere, California, and has served as a judge pro tempore in the Placer and Nevada County Superior Courts.  He is a past member of the board of directors of ALFA International, a network of more than 120 law firms around the world with over 9,000 lawyers. Mr. Rosenlund is a 1979 graduate of the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, where he was Articles Editor of the Hastings Law Journal, and a graduate, with honors, of the University of California, Davis.
