Jones Day, the Washington-based law firm, hired Barbara M. Harding, a former partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, as the firm expands its mass-tort litigation practice.
Harding, 48, has experience in litigation related to asbestos liability, tobacco cost recovery and products liability, Jones Day said in a statement. She previously served as trial counsel for W.R. Grace & Co. in its asbestos personal-injury lawsuits in 2008, and represented the company in bankruptcy court that year, the firm said.
