Shook, Hardy & Bacon welcomes environmental and toxic tort litigator Jad T. Davis to the firm as partner effective March 11, 2019. Davis, who primarily focuses his practice on representing companies conducting business in California, will assist Shook’s clients in a broad range of environmental regulatory, compliance and litigation matters as well as defending companies in toxic tort litigation. He represents a wide variety of industries and business sectors including manufacturers, developers, real estate property investors, designers and contractors.
Davis has a particular focus on cost recovery in soil, soil vapor and groundwater, as well as toxic tort personal injury and property damage litigation. His regulatory experience includes the federal Clean Air Act, CERCLA, RCRA and California’s Prop. 65. He says he has long admired Shook for its winning trial reputation, and he is eager to jump right in and collaborate with the firm’s high-caliber litigation attorneys.
Davis will practice from the firm’s Orange County office, which is already home to a team of highly experienced trial attorneys who defend companies facing issues with product liability, business litigation, consumer protection and employment matters.
