David Fotouhi is a partner in the global law firm Gibson Dunn .
He has represented companies accused of harming people and the environment through pollution.
He challenged the EPA ’s recent ban of asbestos, which causes a deadly cancer called mesothelioma.
Environmentalists are calling on him to recuse himself from decisions regarding asbestos and other issues he's recently worked on.
Fotouhi represented International Paper in two suits over PFAS , persistent industrial chemicals that cause cancer and other diseases.
The chemicals were at the heart of two cases in which the company was accused of spreading PFAS-containing biosolids in Maine .
He succeeded in getting his client dismissed from the suit by arguing that there wasn’t information to tie the company’s conduct to the water contamination.
