Venable’s team serves a broad spectrum of industry clients that create the innovative chemicals and specialty materials that impact and shape our daily lives. For years, these clients have turned to us for all aspects of advice, pre-suit counseling, and, when necessary, litigation. Our work has spanned all aspects of chemical technology, and our team has prosecuted patent applications related to chemicals, chemical processing, manufacturing, and use. We regularly counsel clients on compliance with federal and state legislation relating to occupational health and safety, the disposal of waste, site investigations and remediation, as well as the production, importation, use, and disposal of specific chemicals.
We also defend against both environmental and personal injury claims arising from exposure to a wide array of chemicals, including PFAS, PAHs, benzene, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, dioxins, and furans, among others, and provide strategic pre-suit counseling to help mitigate risk. When litigation does arise, we rely on our deep understanding of scientific principles—as they pertain to such fields as toxicology, epidemiology, occupational medicine, and industrial hygiene—to defend our clients against specious claims. Our scientific knowledge, combined with decades of chemical-related trial experience, has helped us achieve successful outcomes in many high-stakes cases.
Whatever the issue, Venable is dedicated to understanding and overcoming the unique challenges of the chemical industry to advance our clients’ business goals.
