Mr. Fagg is lead counsel for a majority of the nuclear utilities in the country in connection with claims against the government for breach of the federal government's obligation to accept and dispose of spent nuclear fuel—for such clients he has secured multiple hundred-plus million dollar settlements and trial verdicts, successfully defended such awards upon appeal, and led Morgan Lewis teams that have won the industry an aggregate of well over $1 billion in judgments and settlements.
