Our global chemicals sector group brings together specialists from a variety of practice areas who are active in the sector and familiar with the particular issues affecting the industry, enabling us to provide a comprehensive, seamless and specialised service.

We have acted on several of the sector's recent major public and private M&As, as well as infrastructure projects, project finance, joint ventures and other commercial transactions. Transactions are by no means the whole story though. We have a wealth of experience and expertise in other areas of key importance to the sector, such as:

  • Antitrust, competition and regulation;
  • Dispute resolution;
  • Environmental issues, including regulatory compliance, permits, waste, contamination, clean-up, product safety, liability and recall; and
  • Intellectual property, encompassing product lifecycle management, patent and trade mark issues, and information technology.

Combined with the strength in depth across our international network, this enables us to provide an exceptional level of advice and service to clients in the chemicals sector on the issues that really matter to them.
