Our breadth and depth of experience and expertise across a full range of environmental compliance, litigation and land development issues is matched by few other national law firms. We have a particularly recognized depth in California, a jurisdiction routinely on the leading edge of issues such as climate change, green chemistry, carbon control, land entitlements, nanotechnology and renewable and alternative energy projects.

Alston & Bird’s Green Chemistry & Chemicals Management Group represents national and international clients with our offices in Atlanta, Brussels, Charlotte, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Research Triangle, Sacramento, Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C. Seven partners on our team have been recognized among the foremost legal practitioners in the field of environmental law by Chambers USA and Who’s Who Legal. In addition, one of our partners is a former chair of the ABA Section of Environment, Energy & Resources, and another is the immediate past director of California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control and former general counsel of the California Environmental Protection Agency. Our team also includes former senior enforcement officials from the Environmental Enforcement Section and Environmental Crimes Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as the Office of General Counsel for U.S. EPA.

In key markets around the globe, governments have adopted regulatory frameworks to manage the risks that chemicals may pose. These regulations control the manufacture, importation, transportation, storage, use and marketing of chemicals, but are increasingly focused on the regulation of consumer products. State governments in the United States and countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America are increasingly enacting green chemistry and product stewardship laws to regulate product design, ban or restrict the use of certain chemicals, expand environmental labeling and certification programs and manage end-of-life consumer and commercial products. Some programs have longstanding requirements, while others are rapidly evolving and potentially represent a new regulatory paradigm.
