Taft partner Robert A. Bilott continues to speak at events regarding the DuPont litigation:

• March 26 – Bilott spoke at the Women Helping Women’s 2017 Sunday Salon Series.
• March 30 – Bilott will speak at the Environment, Energy & Resources Law Seminar, sponsored by the Ohio State Bar Association.

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