Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

The environmental litigation team at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP specializes in the prosecution and defense of civil and criminal environmental litigation, with expertise that spans environmental liability, toxic tort actions, violations of the clean air and water acts. Washington DC-based duo Stacie Fletcher and Daniel Nelson stand at the helm, the former handling a spread of cases falling under enforcement defense and environmental pollution, including oil spills, air contamination and hazardous waste, while the latter deals with toxic tort litigation, personal injury claims and class action litigation. Over in Los Angeles, Patrick Dennis handles litigation within the manufacturing, energy, aerospace and oil and gas spaces, alongside Abbey Hudson, who is an expert in incident response, enriched by her post-incident e-discovery and evidence preservation skills. San Francisco-based Peter Modlin represents clients in toxic tort actions, product liability, citizen lawsuits, enforcement actions and natural resource damages, while DC’s Michael Murphy is a name to note for ESG issues, often dealing with enforcement and civil actions involving air, water and waste allegations.
