Adchem Corporation

SPR successfully represented defendant Adchem Corporation in a multi-party litigation involving years of discovery and motion practice. Although this case arose under CERCLA and New York negligence law, its resolution in favor of our client turned on claims that involved corporate veil piercing, general releases of liability obligations of commercial tenants, and when a dissolved corporation can no longer be sued. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Plaintiffs’ petition for a rehearing en banc, and the Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari. SPR subsequently represented Adchem Corporation in a second multi-party litigation involving the emerging contaminant 1,4-dioxane.
