Angi acts as national coordinating counsel for a publicly traded manufacturing client facing multiple claims in multiple jurisdictions, all asserting claims of exposure to a variety of allegedly hazardous materials.  She provides strategic litigation management, developing and implementing coordinated litigation strategies to control or eliminate the significant exposure posed by such claims and keeps the client in a favorable low visibility posture, securing dismissals or nuisance value resolutions in the high visibility, high stakes mass torts litigation.
