Proposition 65 Counseling and Defense
Farella Braun + Martel's Environmental Law Department has extensive experience assisting clients with Proposition 65 compliance and defense to litigation brought under Proposition 65, and with other state and federal consumer protection laws. We draw on our considerable resources, including our experience as seasoned federal and state court trial attorneys, our work with clients on product stewardship, regulatory compliance and liability issues, and our experience with technical, scientific and toxicological evidence and consultants. Our attorneys author articles and frequently speak at conferences and for trade organizations on issues relating to Proposition 65.
Clients rely on us for informed, creative, business-oriented strategies to protect their interests and accomplish their objectives. We have the depth of experience and the resources necessary to handle the most sophisticated, complex and high-stakes environmental, health and safety, and product law matters. We also have the experience in opposing plaintiff organizations and law firms that have made Proposition 65 their business and seek to impose product reformulation requirements and extract "bounty hunter" fees.
Collectively, our attorneys' experience includes the full range of consumer, occupational and environmental exposure and discharge claims and compliance issues under Proposition 65, among other state and federal environmental, health and product safety statutes. We have represented clients from all sectors of the economy, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, trade associations, refiners, restaurants, food and beverage suppliers, building owners, developers, employers and other companies doing business in California.
