Chevron Corporation and its lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher aren’t done putting Steven Donziger through the ringer.
Two weeks after persuading a federal judge that Donziger won a $9.5 billion environmental judgment against the oil giant through fraud and racketeering, Chevron now wants the same judge to order Donziger to cover $32.3 million of its legal bills. That may seem like a lot to ask from a solo practitioner who works from a home office, but Chevron says it’s a reasonable request given the financial and legal support Donziger has received over the years.
