John Dubeck joined Keller and Heckman in 1976.
Mr. Dubeck's scientific background (chemical engineering and nuclear propulsion systems) assists him in his largely science-based practice, representing clients and trade associations before the Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency (toxic substances and pesticides). Biotechnology derived products are becoming an increasing part of his practice.
Mr. Dubeck has helped clients bring hundreds of products to market in an efficient manner, advises on continuing compliance obligations, and defends enforcement actions.
He has been a presenter at numerous conferences on toxic chemicals, pesticides, and medical device and drug regulation. He has taught a popular Practical Food Law course annually since 1982.
