Edwin Baum was quoted in “New York Cases To Watch In 2016,” an article in Law360,* regarding the fact that Eric Schneiderman subpoenaed ExxonMobil under state and securities laws, demanding that they turn over documents.

Edwin said in the past, environmental cases were typically directed toward potential toxic issues, meaning hazards to the ground water, soil or air and impact on property.
