Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani welcomes Luis A. Barba to the firm’s Orange County office. He joins the Environmental/Toxic Tort and Construction practice groups. Barba comes to the firm from CMBG3 Law in Irvine.
With nearly 17 years of experience as a litigator, Mr. Barba has developed expertise on a wide range of topics including toxic torts, environmental law, and personal injury. He also has extensive experience defending developers and contractors in disputes that involve complex construction defect disputes. Currently, he focuses his practice on representing national corporations in nationwide complex litigation matters, with a primary emphasis in products liability defense.
In his considerable experience in toxic tort and environmental matters, Mr. Barba has taken hundreds of percipient and expert witness depositions, tried several cases as both first and second chair, and resolved multi-million-dollar claims. He has a deep understanding of the complex medical and scientific issues that arise in these matters, and he works closely with General Counsel and claim representatives in analyzing various toxic tort claims to determine validity.
“We are pleased that Luis has agreed to bring his tremendous knowledge base in toxic tort and environmental law to our office and to the Gordon & Rees Environmental and Toxic Tort Practice Group,” said Manuel Saldana, Co-Managing Partner of the Orange County office. “He will be a tremendous resource to our commercial and insurance clients as well.”
