March 20, 2025, New York, NY — Chaffin Luhana LLP is proud to announce that Attorney Julia Merritt has been appointed Chair of the Data Administration Subcommittee and a key member of the Depo-Provera Leadership Team for In re Depo-Provera Contraceptive Injection Products Liability Litigation.

“Julia’s appointment is a reflection of her commitment to standing up for those harmed by dangerous drugs,” said Roopal Luhana, Founding Partner of Chaffin Luhana LLP. “For years, our firm has fought for women whose lives were upended by pharmaceutical companies and corporations that put profits over safety—whether it was women who suffered life-threatening blood clots from Yaz and Ortho-Evra, those who endured devastating complications from transvaginal mesh, or survivors of sexual assault in the Uber litigation. Julia’s leadership in this case continues our mission to fight for those who have been silenced and seek justice for the harm they’ve endured.”
With over 20 years of experience in mass tort and pharmaceutical litigation, Julia has successfully litigated complex product liability and toxic exposure cases nationwide. She serves on the Plaintiff’s Executive Committee in the In re: Paraquat Products Liability Litigation. Her appointment to the Depo-Provera Leadership Team reflects her extensive experience in handling large-scale pharmaceutical cases and data-intensive litigation.
“Julia’s ability to manage complex litigation and advocate for clients at the highest level is unparalleled,” said Eric Chaffin, Founding and Managing Partner of Chaffin Luhana LLP. “We are incredibly proud of her and the impact she will have in this critical case.”
This is a major achievement for Julia and a proud moment for Chaffin Luhana LLP, reaffirming the firm’s commitment to advocating for individuals harmed by dangerous products.
