Practice/Industry Group Overview

Fulbright & Jaworski has worked for more than 300 chemical and plastics companies, and in a survey by International Corporate Law, the firm was ranked among the 10 best in the country for environmental law.

International scope. With offices in the United States, Europe and Asia and a multi-lingual staff fluent in languages ranging from Urdu to German to Mandarin, Fulbright is positioned geographically and culturally to work internationally.

Services Available

Our work includes International Trade Commission enforcement and defense proceedings and U.S. trademark work for European companies marketing cosmetics and fragrances, specialty glass and pharmaceuticals.

Technical minds. To meet the needs of companies that manufacture, distribute or use chemicals worldwide, we have assembled a strong team of attorneys in key disciplines with degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering, computer science, medicine and other technical areas. There are more than 20 Ph.D.s on staff.

Represented chemical companies as well as large "trade groups" of chemical manufacturers in a variety of personal injury and property damage toxic tort cases, including suits claiming personal injury as a result of occupational chemical exposure. The firm has handled hundreds of cases and litigated cases involving a wide variety of chemicals and substances, including ammonia, asbestos, benzene, butadiene, chlordane, chlorine, chrome, dioxin, ethylene oxide, hydrogen sulfide, insulating materials, lead, MTBE, silica, solvents, sulfur dioxide, and various herbicides and pesticides.
