Environmental litigation strategist Andrew Walsh is a partner at Hueston Hennigan LLP who specializes in resolving multi-billion-dollar contaminant releases and large-scale industrial disasters. He acts as lead coordinating counsel for Edison International and Southern California Edison where he developed an innovative resolution protocol for wildfire-related claims.

This strategic initiative resulted in the out-of-court settlement of over 99 percent of individual plaintiff claims arising from the Thomas and Woolsey fires. Exercising this expertise, Walsh secured a $40-million settlement for the Navajo Nation in federal multi-district litigation against the EPA regarding the Gold King Mine spill. Such results include obtaining a zero-dollar settlement for GoDaddy in a high-profile antitrust dispute to eliminate corporate exposure entirely.
