PFAS Litigation
The presence of PFAS in today’s consumer and industrial products as well as the environment has been increasingly brought into focus. The attorneys of Foley Mansfield, as skilled litigators with over 30 years of trial experience, zealously represent and defend manufacturers and corporate clients against allegations arising from PFAS exposure.
PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl), known as “forever chemicals,” are synthetic chemicals found in various consumer products and industrial applications and have come under increased regulatory and consumer scrutiny. The Foley Mansfield PFAS litigation practice focuses on the defense of manufacturers and companies arising from claims of contamination and exposure. Our team of attorneys specialize in the defense of claims alleging personal injury, environmental damage, and property contamination.
Our strategy against claims of PFAS contamination or exposure includes aggressively challenging scientific causation and exposure pathways through the course of the litigation as well as early identification of preemption and legal defenses. We work to mitigate potential liabilities by acting proactively and staying apprised of regulatory and litigation trends.
We are known for our ability to coordinate and work as a team with nationwide defense counsel and approach matters with local and global views to address mass tort claims. Additionally, our team has the experience to navigate large-scale class action lawsuits and multidistrict litigation (MDLs), ensuring positive outcomes for our clients.
Our attorneys regularly obtain favorable dismissals, settlements, claims reductions, and verdicts for clients across the country. With offices from coast to coast, we serve as local, national and coordinating counsel. Whether you seek national trial counsel, a local defense team, or appellate representation, Foley Mansfield’s acclaimed attorneys will partner with you to deliver superior service and solutions.
