Environmental and chemical regulation and enforcement: We advise clients on complex and evolving regulatory frameworks affecting chemical substances and products, including TSCA compliance, product stewardship, permitting, and reporting obligations. Our team regularly assists manufacturers and importers in navigating regulatory submissions, agency interactions, and enforcement matters. We also counsel on broader environmental obligations, including air, water, waste, climate change, and EHS compliance systems that directly impact chemical production and facility operations. We represent chemical companies in regulatory enforcement actions and environmental disputes. Our experience includes Superfund matters, hazardous substance liability, citizen suits, and OSHA enforcement actions, as well as complex risk allocation in transactional contexts.
Product liability and mass torts: We defend chemical and materials companies in matters involving alleged product defects, exposure claims, and mass and toxic tort litigation. We focus on early case assessment, litigation strategy, and coordinated defense to help manage risk and protect business continuity.
Business litigation: We represent our chemical company clients in various business disputes and litigation, including supply agreement disputes; conflicts over exclusivity, territory, or termination of distribution agreements; joint venture and partnership disputes; tolling and manufacturing agreement disputes; and disputes involving purchase price, earn-out, terms and conditions, and other contractual provisions.
Corporate, M&A and supply chain transactions: We advise on mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and strategic investments involving chemical and materials businesses. We also support supply chain structuring, distribution agreements, and global sourcing arrangements to help clients manage operational and commercial risk.
International trade and regulatory compliance: We assist with import/export controls, sanctions compliance, customs issues, and global trade regulations affecting raw materials and finished chemical products.
Labor, employment and workplace safety: We counsel employers in the chemical sector on labor relations, employment litigation, OSHA compliance, and workforce management strategies tailored to industrial and manufacturing environments.
