Husch Blackwell LLP is a popular choice among regional and national companies in the defense of claims alleging exposure to PCBs, benzene and PFAS, among others. The firm has, however, gained most visibility in relation to its work defending clients exposed to mass nationwide asbestos-related litigation. J.Y Miller is frequently at the forefront of many of these national coordinating counsel roles. Brandan Mueller, who is also based in St Louis, co-heads the team alongside Miller and is noted for his ‘very strategic’ approach and his willingness to go ’the extra mile into achieving the best possible outcome for his clients’.
