Wilson Elser’s defense of the chemical industry spans more than three decades. From its inception, Wilson Elser has defended Fortune 100 chemical and petrochemical companies around the world that manufacture, distribute and sell solvents, adhesives, paints, volatile organic compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons. Our lawyers have successfully defended matters that involve the most complex and sophisticated products and accompanying warnings.

While our efforts on behalf of the chemicals industry focus on litigation, we frequently provide related services, including accident and emergency preparation through our OSHA support and compliance teams, the availability and deployment of rapid response teams and e-Discovery counsel.

Whether the issue is a recent emergent hydrogen sulfide exposure or a latent benzene exposure dating back to the 1960s, we are prepared to provide the historic context in a state-of-the-art defense while aggressively applying the protections that today’s regulatory compliance offers to our clients. We can efficiently manage complex data and information and we enjoy long-standing relationships with the world’s leading experts.
