Chemicals

Our multi-jurisdictional chemicals practice group has a strong record of advising a number of leading multinational chemicals companies, as well as downstream users of chemicals across different sectors on sensitive issues surrounding the regulatory/liability risks arising from their products and services.

We have worked extensively on Europe’s REACH regime. This has included advice on:

• registration obligations in complex supply chains
• disclosure of information to regulators and third parties
• analysis of trading operations to determine REACH obligations
• the authorisation powers (and the inclusion of substances on the candidate list) including related legal challenges
• Safety Data Sheets
• REACH audits by regulators
• supply chain terms

We provide advice on developments under the CLP Regulation and track and advise on the development of equivalent global requirements.
