“We are extremely proud of Camille and all that she has accomplished in her career, both as a dedicated environmental attorney and as a member of the firm’s Executive Committee,” said Patrick C. Dunican Jr., Chairman and Managing Director of Gibbons. “The firm congratulates her on this incredibly well-deserved recognition.”

At Gibbons, Ms. Otero helps clients achieve their business goals by strategically managing environmental risk associated with manufacturing operations, as well as resulting litigation.

She is involved in some of the most significant, high-profile cleanups and litigation of prominent waterways in New Jersey. She also represents clients in complex contract litigations involving significant legacy environmental liability resulting from the release of hazardous substances into the environment, and she handles enforcement proceedings concerning permit and other alleged environmental violations, often reducing or eliminating her clients’ liability.
