Brett Mason is a seasoned trial attorney whose litigation work spans some of the most complex and closely scrutinized sectors in the U.S.—including health sciences, medical devices, and tobacco. Her national defense practice focuses on mass tort, wrongful death, and personal injury cases in both state and federal courts, where she is known for translating highly technical, scientific material into persuasive courtroom narratives.

Unlike many civil litigators today, Brett is no stranger to the courtroom. She has played a key role in more than 20 civil jury trials and a major construction arbitration, serving either as trial counsel or in trial support roles. Her experience includes serving as trial counsel for a global tobacco manufacturer in cases across the country, from Massachusetts to the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Brett’s work is defined not only by her legal precision, but also by her dedication to thought leadership and innovation. As vice chair of DRI’s AI Task Force, she’s at the forefront of legal conversations surrounding generative AI and its implications for healthcare, litigation, and regulatory compliance. She shares this expertise as the host of The Good Bot, a podcast exploring the evolving relationship between law, artificial intelligence, and health care.

A sought-after speaker and educator, Brett frequently presents for organizations like the American Bar Association, Defense Research Institute, and the Association of Corporate Counsel. Her presentations range from the intricacies of expert witness cross-examination to key updates on the Federal Rules of Evidence.

Outside the courtroom, Brett maintains a robust pro bono practice focused on advancing human rights and social justice. Her successes include a landmark immigration case in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals under the Convention Against Torture, and the defense of a prominent rabbi in a high-profile civil matter—both resulting in full victories for her clients.

Driven, principled, and passionately engaged in the future of the legal profession, Brett Mason is a voice of clarity in complex litigation and a powerful advocate for both clients and the integrity of the law.
