Miles & Stockbridge announced today that Donald S. Meringer has rejoined the law firm as a principal in its Products Liability & Mass Torts Practice Group.

Most recently, Meringer was the senior partner at the Baltimore law firm of Meringer, Zois & Quigg, LLC. Prior to that, he was the managing partner of the Baltimore office of McCarter & English, LLP. Meringer is an alumnus of Miles & Stockbridge, having previously been with the firm from 1990 to 1996.

“We are thrilled to have Don back as a Miles & Stockbridge colleague,” said John B. Frisch, chairman and chief executive officer of Miles & Stockbridge. “Not only is he a leading defense lawyer, he is incredibly well matched with our team—from his deep trial and appellate experience and winning track record in these areas to his role as national coordinating counsel for clients.”

Meringer currently practices in the area of asbestos personal injury litigation and has also handled a wide range of other products liability matters, as well as a variety of commercial and contract disputes. He has served as local, regional and national counsel in asbestos personal injury cases for more than a dozen asbestos product manufacturers, installers and equipment manufacturers in multiple jurisdictions.

He graduated with honors from the University of Maryland School of Law and earned his bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis.
