Adam K Peck

Career

Practicing at Lightfoot since its founding in 1990, Adam’s career reads like a history of toxic tort litigation in the South. He was one of the lead litigators for the longest-running trial in Alabama, an environmental contamination case involving thousands of individual plaintiffs. He also represented one of the country’s largest chemical manufacturers in a mass tort case in which 1,600 plaintiff coal miners in Alabama and West Virginia claimed injuries from exposure to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate. The case included four interlocutory appeals to the Alabama Supreme Court helping to clarify various complex issues that frequently arise in mass tort litigation.

Adam is an American College of Trial Lawyers Fellow, one of the premier legal associations in the country, and he currently chairs its Adjunct Fellowship Committee. He is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and an active member of the Birmingham Bar Association, the Alabama State Bar Association, the American Bar Association and the Alabama Defense Lawyers Association (ADLA).
