Pat Morris and Johnson & Bell represent ExxonMobil, along with National Counsel, in a complaint filed by the City of Chicago alleging that fossil fuel industry defendants misled consumers and the public about the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, which brought about devastating climate change impacts to the City of Chicago.
