Freshfields Partner John Rousakis will be moderating a panel titled “PFAS: Navigating the Legal, Scientific, and Remediation Landscape” on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 12:00 – 1:30 PM EST.

This panel will explore the evolving challenges surrounding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” Widely used for their resistance to oil, water, and stains in products ranging from nonstick cookware to firefighting foams, PFAS are now under increasing regulatory scrutiny due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks.

Panelists will examine key developments in PFAS litigation, regulatory trends, toxicology, and site remediation. The discussion will provide practical insights into compliance strategies, scientific findings, and best practices for managing PFAS-related risks.
