Adam Baas

With more than two decades of experience in high-stakes product liability, toxic tort and environmental litigation, Adam Baas has established himself as one of the country’s leading litigators in matters involving emerging contaminants in air, water and sediment.

Throughout his notable career, Adam has developed unique knowledge litigating complex environmental matters across the U.S. concerning PFAS, benzene, MTBE, ethylene oxide, 6PPD and dioxin. His broad practice encompasses state attorney general actions seeking natural resource damages under environmental statutes and novel product liability theories, as well as defending citizen suits under a variety of environmental laws – including completing a trial recently in federal court surrounding the use of 6PPD in tires.

Adam has been at the forefront of PFAS litigation for nearly a decade, leading discussions nationwide on the evolving state of the law and science surrounding these compounds. He has defended actions alleging PFAS contamination and exposure in both state and federal court, including multidistrict litigation and putative class actions – including playing an important role in the national litigation surrounding PFAS historically present in firefighting foam.
