Taft partner Rob Bilott was interviewed, quoted, and mentioned recently about the dangers of PFAS: 

• “California agency sues 3M, others over groundwater contamination,” Reuters.
• “Bad chemistry from North Carolina to Korsør,” Danwatch.
• “Fear on the slopes – PFAS on the dock,” Head Topics France.
• “EPA finds PFAS are more toxic than previously thought,” Environmental Working Group.
• “Toxic compounds we should avoid,” The Bargain Hunters.

Dubbed by The New York Times Magazine as “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare” in an article published on Jan. 6, 2016, Bilott has represented a diverse array of clients, nationwide, who have been harmed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “Forever Chemicals.” His work is the subject of a recent feature film, “Dark Waters,” and the documentary “The Devil We Know,” and is detailed in his book, “Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-year Battle Against DuPont.”

Bilott is a member of Taft’s Environmental, Litigation, and Product Liability and Personal Injury practices and is a board member of Less Cancer and Green Umbrella.
