He helped General Electric argue that being ordered to clean up hazardous waste sites on the Hudson River was a violation of its constitutional rights. He aided Pacific Gas and Electric in complex bankruptcy proceedings, and defended Nike in a suit that claimed the company was lying about its sweatshop practices. Tribe also helped American Trucking Associations and the Petroleum Marketers Association of America fight common-law claims related to global warming. More recently, he assisted a hedge fund named Bulldog Investors in trying to block the enforcement of certain securities laws; his argument was based, in part, on the idea that such laws violated the fund’s First Amendment rights. In the nineteen-nineties, he worked on multiple cases helping the Bell companies companies try to avoid or nullify telecommunications regulation, and in the 2009 he helped Time Warner Cable fight net-neutrality rules, based on a theory of corporate First Amendment rights. In short, Tribe's representation of Peabody Energy is nothing new. It is rather representative of his work over the past two decades.
