The PFAS journey:

How internal PFAS evaluations and risk mitigation can help you prepare for the future

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4 | 1:00–2:00 pm EDT

What will you learn?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to gain increasing attention and scrutiny from stakeholders, government agencies, and the general public.  

As PFAS regulatory and litigation activity grows, some companies have taken a ‘wait and see’ approach to understand their potential PFAS footprint, while others have affirmatively undertaken assessments.  

In this webinar, we will draw upon the expertise of a team of business, environmental, and legal advisors from Ankura, Ramboll, and Latham & Watkins to highlight strategic activities companies should consider in assessing their current and prospective PFAS risks.  
 
Join us to learn:

  • The scope, benefits, and how to use results from internal evaluations of PFAS risks 
  • PFAS in regulatory, litigation, and transactional contexts through real-world scenarios
  • Recommendations and actionable next steps

For questions, contact Jaana Pietari.
