A calm and fearless courtroom advocate, Cliff Zatz has spent decades “telling stories to strangers” — judges, juries, arbitrators, and mediators — in cutting-edge litigation around the country. Clients have turned to Cliff in unpredictable and often unique cases, including multiple-plaintiff and communitywide toxic tort litigation, high-risk product liability actions, contentious environmental litigation, and, more recently, emotionally charged defamation claims. In each case, he strives to craft a winning narrative, educating and guiding the decision maker through complex factual disputes and battles of the experts.
Cliff has represented clients as diverse as consumer product manufacturers, chemical companies, defense contractors, a wind energy facility, a university, a railroad, and a telecommunications company, among others. He has appeared in the state and federal courts of more than 20 jurisdictions, with major jury trials in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and Florida. Cliff’s representations have established the “sophisticated user defense” as state law, earned a listing as a National Law Journal top 15 defense verdict of the year, protected the First Amendment right to call out racism, and helped fend off “hackability” as an emerging theory of product liability. His “ready for trial” perspective also helps clients strategically evaluate risk, define “win” in light of their business objectives, and position themselves best when settlement is their goal.
Cliff has done pro bono work in such areas as fair housing, e.g., Feemster v. BSA Limited Partnership, 471 F. Supp. 2d 87(D.D.C. 2007), aff’d, 548 F. 3d 1063 (D.C. Cir. 2008); discrimination against the HIV-positive in adoption; the recognition of a cause of action for negligent handgun storage, Jupin v. Kask, 447 Mass. 141 (2006); and voting rights. He leads a Crowell & Moring team challenging SB 202, the Georgia election law passed in the wake of the 2020 election. Cliff has been honored for his pro bono work with Crowell’s “George Bailey” Pro Bono Award and an Idealist of the Year award from City Year.
A longtime National Institute for Trial Advocacy faculty member, Cliff has taught for 19 years in its Washington, D.C., regional program, Building Trial Skills. He also teaches annually in Crowell’s Trial Excellence Academy.
Cliff is an engaged alumnus of Duke Law School. Since 2017, he has served both on the board of the Duke Law Alumni Association and as the law school’s representative on the Duke DC regional board of directors. He received a 2021 Forever Duke Award from the university “in celebration of service to Duke.”

- Defended two of the nation's largest chemical manufacturers against 25 plaintiffs' claims of occupational asthma as a result of exposure to isocyanates and ethylene diamine in the manufacture of the Gore-Tex® waterproof membrane.

Mobay Corp., 579 A.2d 1191 (Md. App. 1991), aff'd per curiam, 601 A.2d 123 (Md. 1992), which established the "sophisticated user" defense as the law of Maryland.

- Together with Louisville co-counsel, defended thousands of personal injury and property damage claims brought by workers and neighbors at a Superfund site in southeastern Kentucky. Defended bellwether plaintiff claims of multiple myeloma, childhood leukemia, and other illnesses in a 52-day jury trial in federal court that led to a mass settlement of more than 550 plaintiffs' cases.

Environmental litigation:
- With Louisville co-counsel, won a defense verdict after a month-long jury trial against three coal mining companies that sought $140 million in lost profits as a result of their proximity to a Superfund site. The National Law Journal recognized the victory in its annual list of the country's top defense verdicts.
- Won a two-week trial before a Florida administrative law judge, defeating a community's challenge to an environmental site assessment and remedial action plan.
