What we say about the firm's legal practice in United States
Litigation
Within Leading trial lawyers,
Stephen Susman, Susman Godfrey LLP: Stephen Susman, founder of the Houston litigation boutique, has a superb reputation for major class actions and antitrust suits, and has recently established himself as something of a pioneer in major global-warming related litigations. The most high-profile matter was for a coalition of 37 Texas cities in their opposition of coal-fired electric generating plants by TXU. This has since resulted in TXU’s new owners suspending all the contentious permit applications in question. Since then he has acted as counsel to an Inuit tribe, which has lot its home due to global warming, in a suit against 24 energy companies. His track record in less esoteric, yet equally business critical areas, is highly impressive. Major highlights include, in 2005, successfully representing Masimo in an antitrust action against Tyco in the Los Angeles federal court.
