Grumbine

Overview

Lisa Grumbine represents state Attorneys General, municipalities and other sovereign and public entities seeking redress in environmental and consumer protection litigation, typically after some sort of environmental contamination has occurred.

Lisa is currently prosecuting claims against 3M Co. and other manufacturers of toxic firefighting foam, as well as other products, laced with toxic PFAS chemicals, which now contaminate groundwater, drinking water and other public resources—or, as in the case of apparel, are absorbed through the skin.

Since arriving at G&E in 2008, Lisa has also handled a wide range of securities and commercial litigation actions, as well as antitrust and M&A matters, achieving a number of favorable settlements on behalf of institutional investors and consumers. Her role includes document analysis, summarizing evidence and deposition/trial preparation and strategy. Extremely organized, she is never afraid to ask questions or adjust her investigation appropriately upon discovering new and relevant information.
