Arnold & Porter has one of California's largest and most experienced Proposition 65 practices, encompassing a dozen lawyers in our San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Silicon Valley offices. Our lawyers have represented hundreds of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and trade associations in a wide range of industries. Our lawyers often handle cases involving newly emerging legal and scientific claims, and we have experience in multiparty representation in cases concerning issues of industry-wide significance. Our lawyers have also handled litigation challenging regulations and chemical listings under Proposition 65. The lawyers in our Proposition 65 practice have strong litigation defense experience involving environmental and consumer product claims, including class actions, both in California and around the country. Because of the breadth and depth of our experience, we are well prepared to assist clients in litigation and in the development of compliance strategies.
Unlike many of the law firms with significant Proposition 65 practices, Arnold & Porter has leading practices in related areas of law such as consumer product safety; consumer protection law; EU product regulation; environmental law; food, drug, and cosmetic regulation; product liability litigation; and unfair competition and trade practices law. We understand how the requirements of federal regulators such as the FDA and FTC, states such as Washington and Maine, and international standard-setting bodies interact with Proposition 65 and related consumer product regulatory issues. With this comprehensive experience, we offer an integrated approach in providing legal responses to both complex and relatively straightforward issues alike.
We focus on developing and implementing clear strategies that will achieve our clients' business and litigation objectives. Along with this strategic thinking, we bring experience, dedication, and zealous advocacy to bear on our clients' Proposition 65 and chemical litigation needs.
