Chemicals

Our experience in the chemicals sector spans across chemicals, pharmaceuticals, veterinary products, battery technology and industrial processes, to name but a few. 

We are able to understand the complexities of the technical aspects of the issues faced by the chemicals industry, due to the scientific expertise of our team, which includes, for example, lawyers having degrees in chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering.

Our team has advised on a diverse array of chemical-related matters, such as issues involving petrochemicals, polymers, adhesives, industrial catalysts, processes of organic synthesis, agrochemicals, speciality chemicals, plastics and polymer processing.
