Barrasso Wins High-Stakes Environmental Trial
This summer, the firm obtained a total defense judgment on behalf of a natural gas pipeline company in an environmental breach-of-contract case brought by a local landowner alleging property damage and land loss stemming from a pipeline canal. After six days of a jury trial, based on evidence firm attorneys elicited from plaintiff’s witnesses on cross-examination, the presiding judge granted the firms motion to dismiss with prejudice all the plaintiff’s claims as untimely. The district court also rejected the plaintiff’s challenges to the court’s ruling by denying a motion for new trial last week. Lorcan Connick briefed and argued the winning motion mid-trial.
