Since 1996, Carla Hutton has monitored, researched, and written about regulatory and legislative issues that may potentially affect Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®) clients. She is responsible for creating a number of monthly and quarterly regulatory updates for B&C's clients, as well as other documents, such as chemical-specific global assessments of regulatory developments and trends. She authors memoranda for B&C clients on regulatory and legislative developments, providing information that is focused, timely and applicable to client initiatives. These tasks have proven invaluable to many clients, keeping them aware and abreast of developing issues so that they can respond in kind and prepare for the future of their business.
Ms. Hutton brings a wealth of experience and judgment to her work in federal, state, and international chemical regulatory and legislative issues, including green chemistry, nanotechnology, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Proposition 65, and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) program.
Carla Hutton's strengths include the ability to provide quickly and efficiently timely, relevant, and accurate information on specific issues for clients. Through daily monitoring of regulatory news, EPA information and other resources, she stays on top of government agency and legislative developments as they occur and quickly prepares notifications on various issues. Ms. Hutton has authored several assessments for client-specific materials. Prepared under tight deadlines, these documents still provide detailed analysis of state, federal, and international regulatory trends and developments.
