Blank Rome partner Shannon E. McClure will serve as a panelist at the American Conference Institute’s (“ACI”) 2nd Annual Summit on PFAS Regulation, Compliance and Litigation, being held May 29 through 30, 2025, in New York, New York.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Learn how to mitigate risks from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) and forever chemicals through effective compliance, regulation, and litigation strategies. PFAS chemicals are under increasing scrutiny due to their links to serious health and environmental risks. Companies across all industries now face growing exposure to enforcement actions and costly litigation. The impact extends beyond chemical manufacturers to downstream manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of PFAS-containing products. With new Environmental Protection Agency regulations on the horizon and inconsistent state laws, understanding the full scope of PFAS risks is critical.
Shannon’s session, “PFAS MDL Uncovered: Breaking News, Strategic Insights, and Industry Impacts,” will take place on Friday, May 30, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
ABOUT THE SESSION
The panel will present a case study on the evolving multidistrict litigation landscape surrounding PFAS contamination and firefighting foam. This session will explore settlement trends and the far-reaching impacts on various industries, from economic damage suits to complex personal injury claims.
