Law360 - “Tenants 2 Years Late To Claim $21M DuPont Superfund Deal”

Michael Elam of the Chicago office was mentioned in a Law360 article as representing Arco (Atlantic Richfield Company/BP) at a multiparty hearing opposing a group of former public housing residents’ motion to intervene in an existing consent decree/settlement with the United States and the state of Indiana in the well-reported U.S. Smelter and Lead Refinery Inc. matter in East Chicago, Indiana. Judge Phillip P. Simon, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, denied the motion to intervene and focused his criticism on the U.S. EPA. Michael was assisted by Jill Fortney of the Chicago office. The article is entitled “Tenants 2 Years Late To Claim $21M DuPont Superfund Deal” and was published on Feb. 12.
