In its latest annual report, the activist group Law Students for Climate Accountability (LSCA) has identified five law firms as notable contributors to climate change through their litigation activities. The firms listed by LSCA include Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, recognized as the most prominent actor in this regard, and are followed by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Arnold & Porter, Kellogg Hansen, and Baker Botts.
