The law firm pushing cities and counties to sue fossil fuel companies over climate change has apparently offered a discount to snag a client in its own backyard.
Hagens Berman is representing King County, WA, in the latest case that accuses major energy companies of creating a “public nuisance” by causing climate change-related changes to the environment like rising sea levels. The firm calls its Seattle office, which is managed by co-founder Steve Berman, its “flagship” of 11 locations around the country.
