About
Robert Bilott became "DuPont's worst nightmare," according to The New York Times. His twenty-year battle against DuPont over poisoned water inspired the film Dark Waters, with Mark Ruffalo portraying Bilott.
A corporate defense attorney for eight years, Rob took on an environmental suit that exposed one of the largest cover-ups in modern history. His book Exposure details the case.
He speaks on corporate accountability, persistence in the face of powerful opposition, and protecting communities from environmental harm.
