Mastering the Intersection of Chemical Safety and Environmental Compliance

Senior Policy Advisor Michal Freedhoff was interviewed by Corporate Counsel Business Journal, where she discussed her move to private practice at Holland & Knight and her extensive background in environmental regulation and legislative negotiation, including a stint at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). She talked about the growing challenges for businesses navigating rapidly evolving chemical safety and environmental compliance requirements, particularly as regulatory approaches become more fragmented across federal, state and international governments. Ms. Freedhoff also highlighted the value of experienced, consensus-driven guidance to help companies comply with new regulations while at the same time meeting sustainability goals and adapting to shifts in the broader political landscape.

"I think bridging that gap could become even more challenging if environmental regulatory approaches become increasingly divergent across federal and state governments, as well as in other countries. It will be important to find the 'win-wins' that can meet both the regulatory compliance needs and the sustainability goals of companies," she said.
