Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of thousands of man-made chemicals that accumulate in the environment over time because they do not break down. Thus, PFAS are often referred to as “forever chemicals.” In recent years PFAS regulations at all levels of government have been implemented. As a result PFAS litigation costs now exceed tens of billions of dollars per year. Businesses at all levels must now be aware of how to manage PFAS compliance and risks.

This webinar will provide a detailed overview of the following: what PFAS are, current and pending PFAS regulations (federal and California), PFAS impacts on the due diligence process (Phase I ESA), and available PFAS insurance coverage, and how to manage PFAS legal liability. At the end of the webinar, participants will have the chance to engage with the speakers on any related topics or questions they may have.
