Global Legal Services

Our global legal services include:

• Client-Generated Objectives –
• Draft and assist foreign counsel in submitting comments on pending regulatory proposals concerning client-specific products
• Work with local foreign counsel to defend products in cancellation proceedings
• Develop strategies to approach effectively government agencies, such as the EC, European Union (EU) Member States, and China, on client matters
• Government-Generated Policies –
• Design responses to specific regulatory requirements or directives
• Assist in drafting comments for agencies’ decision-making records

• Acta worked with EU counsel to file the first -- and successful -- appeal in association with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation on behalf of a client.
• Working in conjunction with an industry association, we obtained desired clarity on procedural aspects of an EU process and also engaged appropriate EC and Member State personnel to assist with process, classification, and trade issues.
• Acta partnered with EU counsel to work cooperatively with the EC on behalf of an industry association. The effort ultimately resulted in a successful legal action against the EC enabling the continued commercialization of a product that otherwise would have been extinguished.
• Our professionals successfully coordinated advocacy discussions with a client and appropriate Chinese authorities to address a chemical regulatory issue.
