Bilott Extensively Quoted in The Fayettville Observer on C8 Contamination

Taft partner Robert A. Bilott was extensively quoted in the article “Secrets, denials and toxic water: C8 in the Ohio River Valley,” which was published by The Fayettville Observer. The article discusses Bilott’s work against DuPont in the Ohio River Valley and a new environmental crisis in southeastern North Carolina.

Bilott, who serves as co-lead counsel for the plaintiff’s altering committee handling litigation against DuPont, has been in the spotlight since The New York Times Magazine dubbed him “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare” in an article published on Jan. 6, 2016. On Feb. 13, 2017, DuPont publicly disclosed that it has reached a settlement in principle to resolve the C-8 personal injury, multi-district litigation now pending in federal court in Columbus, Ohio, for $670.7 million.

Bilott is a member of Taft’s Environmental, Litigation and Product Liability and Personal Injury groups. He represents a diverse range of clients on a wide variety of matters involving federal, state and local environmental laws and related litigation.
