Representative Engagements:

• Managed and coordinated efforts on behalf of a small start-up company to register and obtain a tolerance exemption for a new microbial pesticide to meet an important -- and otherwise unaddressed -- public health issue.
• Developed arguments to persuade EPA of its error in making “technical” corrections to an existing tolerance that effectively eliminated a tolerance for an existing crop use.
• Assisted a large, multi-national company in researching and developing regulatory and science-based arguments to support EPA’s conclusion that the client’s recently developed technology is eligible for a FIFRA regulatory exclusion.
• Assisted a large chemical product manufacturer with assessing the value of its pesticide product registration in anticipation of business divestiture.
• Assisted a cleaning product manufacturer in meeting the requirements applicable to a pesticidal device and developed strategies for product testing in support of public health claims.
