TOXIC TORT & ENVIRONMENTAL

Leaders In Environmental and Toxic Tort Defense
Our lawyers have extensive knowledge of applicable law and the experience required to assemble teams of highly-credentialed scientists, regulatory compliance and enforcement professionals, medical specialists, and other experts required to address even the most complicated claims. Because toxic tort cases frequently involve many defendants relying upon the same medical and causation defenses, our lawyers have the requisite experience to play leading roles in joint defense groups. We have acted as regional and national coordinating counsel for clusters of hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of separately filed lawsuits.
