Barbara Faye Enloe Hadsell

Barbara Enloe Hadsell is a graduate of the UCLA School of Law and has maintained a varied practice, litigating extensively for many years in state and federal courts in the areas of civil rights, constitutional and international human rights law. In the frequent instances where her firm co-counsels complex litigation involving teams of attorneys, Ms. Hadsell routinely has been designated by her peers as lead counsel, either singly or as one of a select team of more experienced litigators.
Attorney Hadsell was co-lead trial counsel overseeing the effort of a team of over 20 lawyers from around the country against global energy giant Chevron for its involvement in deaths and other human rights abuses occurring in the rich oil-producing region of the Niger Delta following environmental protests [Bowoto v. Chevron, C99 - 02506 SI].
She has also litigated many employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and whistleblower cases, with settlements totaling in the many millions of dollars. Her trial skills were portrayed by Hollywood in the movie, Hostile Intent.
Attorney Hadsell has received numerous awards concerning her work. The California Women’s Law Center selected Ms. Hadsell and her partner, Dan Stormer, as the first-ever honorees of its now annual Pursuit of Justice Award, in recognition of what the organization characterized as their "cutting-edge efforts in the area of protecting the rights of women and minorities."
