Taft partner Robert A. Bilott was mentioned in three recent articles:

• “Ohio sues DuPont over C8 contamination concerns” The Fayetteville Observer
• “The U.S. Military is Spending Millions to Replace Toxic Firefighting Foam with Toxic Firefighting Foam” The Intercept
• “MJLR Symposium Explores Energy and Environmental Regulation as a Bipartisan Interest” Michigan Journal of Law Reform

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. The article recently received international attention and was reprinted in Taiwan. 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.
