In an article published by Bloomberg Law, Mintz Member Jeff Porter commented on the oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court in Guam v. United States. The Supreme Court will determine whether a 2004 Clean Water Act settlement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Guam will prevent Guam from seeking from the U.S. Navy contribution toward the cost of cleaning up a former Navy dump in Guam under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as the Superfund statute.

The Boston Business Journal reported that some of Boston’s biggest law firms, including Mintz, grew their profits by double-digit percentages last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic challenges.

He also discussed the success of the firm’s Corporate Practice and strong dealmaking activity in 2021. After a better-than-expected year in terms of revenue and more, and with substantial economic growth expected, Mr. Bodian said that “we’re very optimistic about where things are headed.”
