Here’s my standard disclosure: I have in the past and do now represent non-insurer parties opposed to certain terms of asbestos bankruptcies. I also spent from 1984 – 1999 representing asbestos defendants, including GAF Corporation and then W.R. Grace. I also have represented entities that are financially tied to asbestos litigation through indemnity obligations or shared insurance. Further specifics are available on my bio at my law firm’s website (http://www.butlerrubin.com/) or feel free to email me at work (khartley@butlerrubin.com ) if you need further information in order to understand my background as relevant to my views.
