Bilott Participates in Panel for Geneva Environment Network

Taft partner Robert A. Bilott participated in a panel discussion with the Geneva Environment Network on Dec. 7. Bilott shared his experience in the decade-long litigation against chemical giant DuPont. The presentation was sponsored by and held at the Graduate Institute Geneva.

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 practices. He represents a diverse range of clients on a wide variety of matters involving federal, state and local environmental laws and related litigation.
