Sher Edling represents cities, counties, and states in lawsuits to hold fossil fuel industry defendants accountable for their decades-long campaigns of deception about the science of climate change and the role their products play in causing it, as well as their failure to take steps to avoid the harm they knew would arise from the use of their products or even to warn anyone about it. Sher Edling’s team has a successful track record of holding fossil fuel companies accountable for actions that harm people and the planet. In addition to representing public agencies across the country, Sher Edling represents the West Coast’s largest commercial fishing trade association.
