Our Team

Fighting for Justice, Advancing Accountability

Devoted to championing the rights of individuals and communities impacted by environmental injustices. Through legal advocacy, cutting-edge research, and unrelenting dedication, we work to hold polluters accountable.

Our Expertise in Action

Our work targets three critical pillars of environmental health, ensuring comprehensive solutions for lasting impact:

Air: Invisible Pathways, Indisputable Harm

While most public awareness about environmental contamination focuses on water or soil, the air we breathe is a major—and often underestimated—pathway for exposure to industrial pollutants.

Water: A System
Under Siege

No domain has been more affected by the contaminants addressed in this litigation portfolio than water. Public water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and surface water supplies are all under siege from PFAS, 1,4-Dioxane, and Microplastics.

Land: Contamination Without Borders

The land beneath our feet is no longer safe from industrial contaminants. From PFAS-laden airport sites to farmlands treated with biosolids, the consequences of land-based contamination are being felt across the country.

The Human Costs of Contamination

$20.8
Billion

The settlement for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the largest in U.S. history, which devastated marine life, killed over 100,000 sea birds, and caused a 51% decrease in dolphin populations in Louisiana.

$333
Million

The settlement in the Erin Brockovich case against Pacific Gas & Electric for contaminating drinking water with hexavalent chromium.

$64.5
Million

The largest Clean Air Act penalty for stationary sources, paid by Marathon Oil, along with measures to reduce over 2.3 million tons of pollution.
