With over a decade of experience in complex commercial litigation in state and federal court, Naomi D. Barrowclough represents businesses—ranging from Fortune 500 companies and well-known household brands to startups—in complex suits with potentially high exposures, including breach of contract claims, breach of fiduciary duty suits, mass torts, and consumer fraud actions, as well as no-injury class actions under consumer protection regulations such as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

Over the past eight years, Naomi’s diverse practice has focused on cosmetic talcum powder litigation, where she provides strategic counsel to talc manufacturers sued in mass tort litigation across the country. In addition to handling written discovery, depositions of plaintiffs and other fact witnesses, and drafting dispositive motions, she also works with national coordinating counsel to craft multijurisdictional defense strategies for clients facing talc litigation nationwide.

Naomi also helps manage risk and negotiate efficient resolutions before litigation arises, particularly in the context of corporate transactions on such issues as indemnification and breaches of representations and warranties.

Passionate about pro bono work, Naomi has represented individuals and nonprofits in breach of contract disputes, immigration matters, and disability appeals to the Veterans Administration.

Before joining the firm, Naomi clerked for the Hon. Jonathan N. Harris of the New Jersey Appellate Division.

  • Effectively tendered defense and indemnity in dozens of cases away from a recurring defendant in mass tort litigations, resulting in multimillion-dollar cost savings for client.
  • Extracted recurring defendant from mass tort litigations across the country, including NYCAL, based on Delaware’s well-settled principle that a shareholder is not liable for the acts of its subsidiaries.
  • Achieved dismissal on behalf of mass tort defendants with aggressive, early pre-answer motion to dismiss in response to boilerplate complaint, resulting in cost-savings for client and its insurers.
  • Achieved dismissal of individual defendants in federal class action against construction company and principals.
  • Defeated class certification in consumer fraud class action in the Southern District of New York.
