Super., Alameda Cty.); and numerous other related cases. Since 2009 and through the present, I have represented BASF in numerous cases alleging fraud and spoliation in decades of past asbestos lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these cases contend that Engelhard Corporation, a company BASF acquired, and Engelhard?s former outside counsel at Cahill Gordon Reindel LLP, misled plaintiffs about whether a talc product contained asbestos, and engaged in related document destruction. These allegations have been advanced most prominently in a federal putative class action denominated Williams v. BASF LLC, ?led on behalf of past asbestos plaintiffs who previously sued Engelhard. That matter is currently pending before the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (now before Judge Esther Salas, Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Dickson, and Special Master and retired New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Roberto A. Rivera-Soto). The Williams case also went to the Third Circuit before a panel composed of Chief Judge McKee, Judge Ambro, and Judge Fuentes. The case has also generated substantial additional litigation in states across the country, most prominently California and New Jersey. Substantial under-seal proceedings have also taken place in New Jersey state court concerning plaintiff?s motion for privileged documents under the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege (the Sampson case). Some of these various matters are ongoing and others have concluded. The following are the primary counsel involved in this matter: 15 Co-Counsel for BASF: Eugene F. Assaf Michael F.
