The firm was founded in 1998 by William Marler, Denis Stearns and Bruce Clark. They were the primary attorneys for both the plaintiff and defense in the litigation stemming from the 1993 Jack in the Box outbreak of E. coli.[2]

Marler Clark has represented victims of foodborne illness against many different companies.[3][4][5][6]

In a Feb. 2012 article in The Atlantic, journalist Barry Estabrook wrote that "Marler is nothing if not tenacious -- just ask the dozens of food processers and fast-food outlets who have paid more than $600 million in claims to his clients in the past two decades."

Advocacy and Education

In addition to representing clients, the firm is committed to advocating for food safety policy changes, and educating the food industry, public health officials, and consumers on food safety issues. Through the non-profit OutBreak, Inc., the attorneys and on-staff epidemiologist from Marler Clark speak at conferences, meetings, and other functions worldwide.[7]

Marler Clark publishes sources of online information on food safety. These online sources include Food Safety News, Food Poison Journal, Real Raw Milk Facts, and the Outbreak Database.[8]
