As with virtually every sector, the COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted the chemical industry—from corporate transactions to supply chains to privacy concerns related to employees working remotely. A team of Womble Bond Dickinson attorneys addressed these issues in-depth at a Dec. 8 Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) webinar.
Attorneys
Caitlin MacDowell (corporate/M&A),
Peter Snaith (UK manufacturing) and
Theresa Sprain (employment law) spoke in the hour-long presentation. SOCMA President & CEO
Jennifer Abril moderated the discussion and Womble Bond Dickinson Baltimore Office Managing Partner
Barry Herman provided introductory remarks.
Overall Health of the Chemicals Market
MacDowell and Snaith agreed that many chemical companies have weathered the pandemic storm well, particularly companies that manufacture in-demand chemical products (pharmaceuticals, hygiene, medical products, food products.)
