Weitz & Luxenberg Fights Back Against Big Oil and MTBE through litigation

Weitz & Luxenberg, one of America's leaders in Hazardous Substance litigation, is seeking to defend public and private drinking water supplies by holding oil companies responsible for cleanup costs related to MTBE contamination.

Working with municipalities, water suppliers, and well owners, Weitz & Luxenberg's 50+ attorneys, 300+ support professionals, and decades of experience give us the edge we need to take on big oil and fight for our clients. Based in New York City, Weitz & Luxenberg is able to handle MTBE cases from all over the nation with the dedication and expertise that only we can offer. Since 1986, we have established a country-wide reputation in the field of product liability, and we currently represent the largest MTBE client in the nation.

Weitz & Luxenberg has enjoyed significant recognition of our legal prowess in several prestigious publications, including the National Law Journal's 2003 Plaintiff's Hot-List 25 Go-To Teams; National Law Journal's 2002 Top Verdicts of the Year; National Law Journal's 2002 40 Under 40- Most Successful Young Litigators in America; The American Lawyer's 2003 45 Under 45- Rising Stars of the Private Bar; and National Law Journal's 1995 40 Under 40- Most Successful Young Litigators in America.

Recently, partner Robert Gordon was court-appointed the National Co-Lead Counsel for the federal MTBE Multi-District Litigation Consolidation, which has conducted extensive investigation of the liability of the manufacturers and distributors of MTBE nationwide. Weitz & Luxenberg also represents public water providers in numerous states, including the largest municipal water authority in the nation.

Counsel C. Sanders McNew brings years of extensive legal experience and expertise in MTBE litigation. Attorney Steven German recently joined the firm after several years of environmental practice in Washington.

Instead of burdening taxpayers in affected areas with the costs of removing MTBE from their drinking water, Weitz & Luxenberg will aggressively go after the oil companies responsible. We want to do what is best not only for our clients, but for the environment and future generations as well. You have a right to clean, safe drinking water, and Weitz & Luxenberg is a powerful ally to have on your side.
