Overview
Bates White’s Environmental and Product Liability (EPL) Practice brings unmatched experience and technical expertise to our work. We provide clients with a clear understanding of the implications of, and risks associated with, their liabilities, as well as the value of related insurance. Our team includes experts with backgrounds in economics, accounting, mathematics, and science, as well as policy and actuarial services. Powered by sophisticated data analytics, advanced proprietary modeling tools, and extensive experience, we guide clients to make better decisions about issues involving asbestos, environmental pollution, and other mass tort liabilities.
Drawing on the knowledge and experience of our entire team, the EPL Practice has been a market leader since the firm’s beginning, developing and refining many of the approaches that have since become standard in both liability forecasting and insurance allocation. In fact, Managing Partner Charles Mullin was named the Who's Who Legal Insurance Expert of the Year in 2018 and 2019, as well as a Global Elite Thought Leader. Key to this success and to delivering a better client experience is the strength of our employees at every level. We make professional development and collaboration a priority, resulting in a talented support team, dynamic approaches, effective communication, and greater efficiencies.
