Kevin M. Zielke, Detroit-based member and Leader of Dykema’s Pharmaceutical Team, and Joshua H. Joseph, Washington, D.C.-based associate in the firm’s Products, Class Actions & Professional Liability practice, co-authored the article, “The Plaintiff Bar’s Latest Attack on Generic Drug Manufacturers: How a New FDA Rule Could Dismantle Recent Legal Victories,” which appeared in Pharmaceutical Compliance Monitor.
