Miles & Stockbridge is pleased to announce that Dwight W. Stone II has joined the law firm as a principal in its nationally-recognized Products Liability & Mass Torts Practice Group and the Consumer Product Safety Commission & Regulatory Compliance practice within it.

Before joining Miles & Stockbridge, Stone was a partner at another Maryland law firm. He has more than 20 years of litigation experience, representing clients in various state and federal courts and administrative agencies and focusing on products liability, class action defense, toxic tort and environmental claims, insurance coverage disputes, and other complex business disputes. A significant part of his practice at Miles & Stockbridge is the representation of clients before the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in connection with corrective action plans (recalls), civil penalties and reports and investigations under the Consumer Product Safety Act.

“Dwight’s deep litigation, class action and products practice is well matched with our CPSC experience and related client industries,” said John B. Frisch, chairman and chief executive officer of Miles & Stockbridge. “He will work closely with our manufacturing, distribution and retail clients to evaluate risks, respond to issues and resolve matters that can significantly impact a business’s reputation and bottom line.”

Stone is an executive board member and treasurer of Maryland Defense Counsel, Inc. A member of DRI, a leading organization of defense attorneys and in-house counsel, he serves on its commercial litigation committee and chairs the planning committee for DRI’s national 2017 business litigation seminar. He also serves on the executive committee of the Lawyers’ Campaign Against Hunger, which raises funds for the Maryland Food Bank.
