Our firm actively engages in human rights litigation, often called environmental, social, and governance (ESG) litigation, supporting victims of genocide, torture, human trafficking, discrimination, sexual violence, and other human rights abuses worldwide. We pursue justice against some of the world’s largest corporations, transforming the ideal of universal human rights into practical, impactful outcomes.
Our commitment is to hold violators accountable by providing expert legal counsel to victims and seeking justice through the legal process. Working with top investigators, NGOs, international lawyers, litigation funders, and specialized law firms, we build world-class teams to tackle these complex, global cases.
We filed a class action lawsuit filed against Meta, Facebook’s parent company, on behalf of Rohingya Muslims. The suit alleges that Facebook’s algorithms amplified hate speech and that the company neglected to remove inflammatory content despite repeated warnings of potential ethnic violence. In Jane Doe v. Meta Platforms, Inc. (Case No. 4:22-cv-00051-YGR, N.D. Cal.), Fields Han Cunniff serves as co-counsel alongside the Edelson PC law firm.
