The team combines expertise in environmental law, real estate, toxic torts, and insurance, with notable experience in issues related to greenhouse gas emissions and government investigations. It notably represented Daikin America, securing the dismissal of the massive Hardwick v. 3M PFAS class action on appeal due to lack of standing. Kevin Holewinski , head of the practice, is a recognized trial lawyer with expertise in environmental and toxic tort litigation, and leads key “forever chemicals” cases. Also, notably, Daniella Einik has successfully handled multimillion-dollar environmental enforcement actions, toxic tort litigation, and DOJ criminal investigations, including a major Clean Air Act case. Both lawyers are based in Washington DC.
