We have handled bankruptcy cases with environment law aspects, and we have substantial experience with environmental insurance claims. We have tried asbestos property damages cases to verdict and regularly defend clients in mass tort cases in which thousands of plaintiffs claim personal injury or property damages from alleged toxic exposure. Our Approach Experience, depth, and careful staffing enable McCutchen to provide service efficiently. McCutchen attorneys take a practical approach, drawing upon our experience to avoid reinventing the wheel at the client's expense. The costs and potential benefits of significant tasks are discussed with our clients in advance.
Great care is taken in the assignment of members of the team to specific tasks.
We are extremely sensitive to both sides of the equation regarding seniority. On the other hand, we are aware that a more experienced attorney can often perform certain tasks more efficiently and in less time. We make every effort to staff each task in the most efficient way. We tend to staff cases leanly. We do not assign large numbers of attorneys and legal assistants to a case just because additional staff may be needed at some later point.
