Environmental contamination litigation on behalf of public entities is complex and resource-intensive. Representing public entities in this space requires deep expertise, persistence, and a clear focus on the public interest. I am proud to work alongside states and municipalities as they pursue accountability for environmental harm and safeguard their communities.
Overview
Viola Vetter focuses on sovereign and public entity representation in the environmental space. She currently represents a number of state Attorneys General and municipalities in environmental litigation, prosecuting claims against major chemical manufacturers whose practices and products have resulted in the contamination of natural resources, stormwater systems, and other infrastructure throughout the nation. Viola understands that frequently, state Attorneys General and municipal law departments are the last bastion of environmental protection when there is lack of other regulatory oversight, and is honored to bring legal expertise and resources to their fight against corporate misconduct.
Prior to joining Grant & Eisenhofer, Viola was an associate at an international law firm, resident in Philadelphia, representing corporate clients in complex commercial, consumer and qui tam matters in state and federal courts. She is fluent in English and German.
