Environmental Law & Natural Resources

Proposition 65 is a short law with a wide impact. Best Best & Krieger lawyers have experience advising and defending clients throughout California on the entire range of issues that Prop 65 encompasses, including the discharge prohibition and the warning requirement.

BB&K lawyers have been involved in Prop 65 since it was on the ballot in 1985. Since then, we have handled Prop 65 matters by vigorously defending actions when necessary, appearing in administrative proceedings, providing advice to clients seeking to avoid potential Prop 65 liability, lobbying the legislature, and meeting with the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. We keep up to date on new chemical listings, notices, complaints and settlements, and we know the science and the scientists.

A BB&K lawyer won a major victory in arbitration on behalf of a manufacturer of herbal supplements, proving that alleged contaminants were naturally occurring. Another BB&K attorney represented clients in landmark drinking water contamination cases filed by district attorneys and others.
