He will be a great asset to our clients, particularly those who face challenges in the environmental area," said Mike Attanasio, chair of Cooley's Litigation department and partner in charge of Cooley's San Diego office. "With Ray's admission our national litigation practice becomes that much stronger as his trial and strategic counseling skills will be deployed across the firm to the benefit of our entire client base."
