Joshua W. Praw (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) coauthored the article “PFAS: Forever Chemicals with Forever Litigation?”, published in the July 13, 2026, edition of the Daily Journal. Joshua’s coauthor is Dr. Gray H. Harlan, PhD, a postdoctoral research associate at Northwestern University. The article explores the emerging landscape of PFAS litigation, examining how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ‒ synthetic chemicals prized for their durability and used in products ranging from nonstick cookware to firefighting foams ‒ have become one of the most significant fronts in environmental and product liability litigation in the country. Drawing on the latest scientific research and regulatory developments, including the EPA's landmark $450 million settlement with a major PFAS manufacturer in 2026, Joshua analyzes the legal theories driving claims against manufacturers and downstream users, the insurance coverage disputes these cases generate, and the practical steps counsel should take to prepare for this sustained wave of litigation.
