Industry Focus

Specialty Chemicals

Specialty chemicals cater to a variety of industries, including textiles, ink additives, construction, oil and gas, cosmetics, and food. Like the broader chemical industry, the specialty chemical sector is highly regulated, with new guidelines imposed on an ongoing basis. These regulations are driving companies to innovate and seek more environmentally friendly solutions.

Our lawyers serving the manufacturing industry understand the challenges in this sector, and have advised specialty chemical companies on a range of issues. They negotiate your chemical purchases and supply agreements with major industry participants. They obtain your insurance coverage for environmental, product, and toxic tort liabilities. They even defend you in environmental punitive class actions and individual actions in federal and state courts. This team can also help evolve your company and its operations for the future.
