We help manufacturers comply with state, federal, and international environmental laws and regulations; address legacy contamination issues (including litigation when needed); and advocate for favorable regulatory revisions.
Why B&D?
Facility and product environmental compliance issues can impact manufacturers’ competiveness. As manufacturing demands increase across the globe, manufacturers must navigate a regulatory maze while also meeting their business goals.
Beveridge & Diamond offers knowledge and experience in virtually all of the issues associated with manufacturing facilities and the product life-cycle, including those arising under environmental, chemical, and worker safety statutes and programs administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Homeland Security, and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and their state counterparts, as well as those governed by other laws and agencies.
Our lawyers provide fast, reliable, and efficient counsel to owners and operators of manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and abroad on air, water, hazardous materials, chemical regulation, worker safety, and waste disposal requirements. We also assist them in setting up custom programs and processes to get their products to market and meet sustainable supply chain goals.
