Legal Practices
Grimaldi Law Offices provides strategic compliance advice and litigation defense relating to chemical and product laws, including California’s Proposition 65, California’s Green Chemistry Initiative and the Safer Consumer Products Regulations, and the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). A former partner at a large international law firm with 20 years of experience in chemical and product law, Grimaldi Law Offices founder Ann Grimaldi has the knowledge and practical approach that businesses need. The firm’s goal is to help clients comply with applicable laws, avoid regulatory problems, manage supply chains – and thrive.
The complex nature of chemical and product laws means that technical expertise often is required to develop the clearest picture of the issues and their resolution. Ms. Grimaldi works closely with scientific experts, as appropriate for each matter, to ensure that clients receive advice that is both legally sound and scientifically defensible.
“My goal is to help my clients avoid regulatory headaches – and strategically position them for success.”
