Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P.

Its toxic tort and exposure practice provides a concrete example. Matters can involve alleged contamination of air, land, or water, claims of personal injury or property damage, and questions about class certification. The firm describes developing factual, legal, medical, and environmental evidence for use before judges and juries.

The work is not limited to legal doctrine: the technical record and the explanation of causation may be central to a case. Shook's service materials show those issues across several categories of business and product disputes.
