Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Work highlights
Chevron was facing a class action lawsuit in Ecuador for alleged environmental damages which resulted in an adverse judgment against the company of over $19 billion and significant reputational damage. The Guidepost Solutions team conducted a multi-year investigation in Ecuador, which found evidence that the U.S. plaintiff lawyers behind the lawsuit bribed the Ecuadorian judges, faked evidence of contamination, and ghostwrote court-appointed expert reports. Working closely with outside counsel from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (named Litigation Firm of the Year for their work on the case), Guidepost investigators played a key role in finding and bringing forward the key witnesses and documents that helped exonerate Chevron.
