DALLAS (December 3, 2012) –The national mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd is honored to be a 2013 platinum-level sponsor of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization’s (ADAO) Ninth Annual International Asbestos Awareness Conference. The conference will be March 22-24 in Washington, D.C. Titled “The Asbestos Crisis: New Trends in Prevention and Treatment,” ADAO’s annual conference brings together leading mesothelioma physicians, asbestos advocates, mesothelioma patients and caregivers to help raise public awareness about the dangers of asbestos, pursue medical advancements to find a cure for mesothelioma and advocate for a global ban on asbestos use.
“We are just thrilled that Baron and Budd is supporting us again this year as a 2013 platinum-level sponsor,” said Linda Reinstein, mesothelioma widow and co-founder of ADAO. “Thanks to the firm’s generous contribution, ADAO can continue its mission of battling the root of mesothelioma: asbestos. It’s because of firms like Baron and Budd that ADAO is able to take the fight against asbestos to Washington and be the voice of asbestos victims.”
Topics discussed at the conference will include the latest advancements in diagnosing and treating asbestos diseases, particularly mesothelioma, preventing exposure to asbestos in the home and workplace, resources for mesothelioma patients and their families, and the importance of global advocacy.
“As a law firm that works closely with mesothelioma patients on a daily basis, we know how important ADAO’s work is,” said Russell Budd, president and managing shareholder of Baron and Budd. “ADAO CEO/co-founder Linda Reinstein works tirelessly on behalf of countless mesothelioma patients and families to help them find support and create a unified voice in the global battle against asbestos.”
