California historically has been considered a hot-bed of environmental regulation, and that trend has continued in recent years.  The State has long kept a list of particularly dangerous chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity and requires companies doing business in California to warn consumers about any potential exposure to those chemicals.  Does this sound like an area of law that does not apply to your clients?  Think again.  There is virtually no product and no industry untouched by California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (better known as “Proposition 65”), and with new lawsuits cropping up every day, any client doing business in California needs to know about the pitfalls of this California law.    Speakers: Amy L. Rudd, Partner- a trial lawyer in the complex commercial litigation group. Her practice spans several practice areas, including general business litigation, class action defense, product liability and mass torts, and trademark and copyright matters. In 2014, she was recognized by The Legal 500 US for her product liability and mass tort defense practice in the areas of consumer products, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and toxic tort. Catherine L. Carlisle, Associate- focuses her practice on complex commercial litigation matters, with particular emphasis on class actions, breach of contract, business tort and securities issues. She is also experienced in international litigation and arbitration.
