PFAS or “chemicals”—are rapidly emerging as one of the most significant environmental and legal risks facing organisations today. With their extreme persistence, widespread presence in the environment, and increasing regulatory scrutiny, PFAS are drawing comparisons to historic contaminants like asbestos.
Join us for this timely and practical webinar, featuring legal and insurance experts Stephen Sykes (Head of Environment, Climate and Sustainability Law at Capital Law) and Mathew Hussey (Environmental Partner at Gallagher Specialty).

This session will explore:
- What PFAS are and why they’re attracting increasing attention
- The implications for developers, landowners, and regulated industries
- How insurer anxiety and regulatory uncertainty are driving risk
- Hidden costs and litigation risks associated with PFAS contamination
- Practical steps to mitigate exposure and engage proactively with regulators and insurers
