Drew Cleary Jordan

アソシエイト

Drew Cleary Jordan is an environmental and toxic tort litigator who represents companies in complex, high-stakes disputes and nationwide litigation portfolios. His practice focuses on climate change litigation, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other emerging contaminants, plastics and microplastics litigation, greenwashing and environmental marketing claims, public nuisance, and contaminated-site disputes. Drew helps clients develop and implement coordinated litigation strategies, manage significant discovery and expert work, and align legal decisions with business, operational, reputational, and cost considerations.

Drew handles matters in state and federal courts, including multidistrict litigation (MDLs), coordinated proceedings, class actions, mass torts, product liability matters, and complex commercial disputes. His work spans early case assessment, dispositive briefing, fact and expert development, discovery, trial preparation, and appeals. He manages multijurisdictional dockets and litigation portfolios, coordinates joint-defense groups and cross-office teams, and works directly with in-house counsel and business leaders.

Drew focuses a significant part of his practice on complex, multiparty crisis litigation arising from environmental incidents, product-related disputes, and mass torts. He helps clients organize rapid fact development, legal strategy, case teams, experts, and stakeholder communications when matters create immediate legal, operational, or reputational pressure. Drew also advises on litigation risk and regulatory developments under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Clean Water Act, and state environmental and consumer protection laws.

Drew prepares fact and expert witnesses for trial and has examined witnesses in federal court. He regularly writes and speaks on PFAS, plastics, climate litigation, greenwashing, and other emerging environmental and product-related risks. His work has appeared in legal and industry publications, and he has provided on-the-record commentary concerning PFAS regulation and litigation.

Drew maintains an active pro bono practice focused on voting rights and redistricting. Within Morgan Lewis, he is a member and former vice chair of the Washington, DC Office Pro Bono Committee. His earlier leadership roles include membership on the Princeton Office Pro Bono Committee and service as the Princeton office’s associate representative. Drew also plays active and leading roles in several firmwide working groups.

Before returning to Morgan Lewis as a lawyer, Drew served as a law clerk to Judge Danny C. Reeves of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.
