Emily Nicholson, Partner in Mishcon Purpose, has contributed to a report 'The "Forever Chemicals” Challenge' published by ByField Consultancy. Emily was interviewed for the report and also provided legal insight on the survey findings.

The report warns that UK businesses face increasing legal and reputational risks and should prepare robust communications strategies as PFAS claims gain momentum.
