Known for his pivotal role in a class-action suit involving PFOA/PFAS chemical exposure, Taft partner Robert A. Bilott was recently interviewed by The Intercept regarding the current state of chemical regulation in the U.S.

The article shares information regarding DuPont-spinoff company Chemours and its activity in transporting toxic chemical GenX waste from Dordrecht, Netherlands to Fayetteville, N.C. “What worries me are the folks living in states that have refused to take any action, because they’re waiting for the federal government to act,” explains Bilott. The article also provides information on how Chemours has disposed of GenX waste in the past on both an international and national level. To learn more, click here.

Bilott serves as co-lead counsel for the plaintiff’s altering committee handling litigation against DuPont. He has been 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 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.
