PFAS Regulation and Litigation: What’s Changing and What Comes Next

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) regulation continues to evolve rapidly as federal and state agencies expand enforcement priorities, adopt new regulatory requirements, and courts address increasingly complex litigation involving contamination, product liability, and cost recovery claims. Attorneys advising manufacturers, property owners, municipalities, insurers, and other affected stakeholders must navigate overlapping statutory frameworks, emerging compliance obligations, and developing case law that shape PFAS-related risk.

 

In this CLE webinar, Libby Stennes, Shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, LLP will examine the changing legal landscape governing PFAS regulation and litigation, including developments under federal environmental statutes, evolving state regulatory initiatives, and significant litigation trends. Attendees will gain practical legal analysis regarding regulatory compliance, supply chain and enforcement risks, liability considerations, and litigation strategies relevant to PFAS-related matters. This program is designed for attorneys, including in-house counsel, environmental practitioners, and litigators advising clients on environmental compliance, enforcement, and dispute resolution.
