City Council Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The City of Clermont is considering a contract for legal services related to PFAS litigation. This involves filing a claim for potential settlement money based on testing of the city's public water systems for organic pollutants. The proposed legal team, Stag Liuzza and DSK Law, would handle all necessary testing and legal representation on a contingency basis. This means the city would not pay upfront costs, and the attorneys would be compensated from any recovered settlement funds, plus a percentage of the proceeds. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The work would involve legal research, claim filing, and potentially managing settlement negotiations. Local law firms specializing in complex litigation and environmental law may find opportunities to collaborate or provide support services. Engaging early could provide an advantage as the city moves forward with this legal process.
