With the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Bates v. DowAgroScience LLC, the possibility of multi-million dollar damage claims against pesticide users and manufacturers has increased. The reality of high damage claims coupled with public fears over chemicals and chemical-based products like pesticides can lead to regular and costly legal battles for companies in the chemical industry. Unfortunately, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) reaction to industry developments and public concerns can itself be misunderstood or muddled, both heightening and complicating legal issues. Companies who find themselves embroiled in legal turmoil -- either before the courts or administrative bodies -- will benefit immeasurably from highly-qualified legal experts.

In the first nine months of 2016, $149 billion (USD) was transacted in chemical sector deals. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity was significantly up in 2015 and the surge is expected to continue in 2017 as a result of historically low energy prices, the ripple effects of mega-deals like Dow-Dupont, and activist investors seeking improved bottom lines. Because the chemical sector is heavily regulated, a sophisticated understanding of domestic and international chemical regulatory regimes, including the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), Act on the Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemical Substance (K-REACH), and related programs, is an essential component of due diligence.
