Manufacturing Industry
Manufacturing is still a significant component of the West Virginia economy, with a long history in the Kanawha River and Ohio River valleys.

Our firm represents manufacturers of consumer goods and industrial products in the chemical, metals, refining, electronics, forest and paper products and plastics industries. Robinson & McElwee represents these clients with regard to a wide variety of legal matters, including corporate transactions, workers’ compensation, labor and employment, real property, tax and environmental matters.

Our attorneys regularly advise clients on permitting and compliance issues, appeal and defend permits issues to clients and defend them against enforcement actions initiated by state and federal agencies. We have worked with clients to develop defense and compliance strategies related to all media – air, water, hazardous waste and solid waste.
Our attorneys regularly appear before state agencies that decide permit appeals, and have taken appeals to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. We have handled Superfund cases in West Virginia and many other jurisdictions, and have worked with other state and federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers on wetlands and permitting issues.
Getting good results for our clients starts with developing good laws and regulation. Our attorneys are recognized in the halls of the Capitol as effective and regular advocates for the interests of their clients.

Our attorneys have an enviable record of success in defending manufacturers in a wide variety of legal action. Our asbestos defense practice is one of the largest in the state. We have successfully defended a large refiner in a statewide class action alleging damage to underground storage tanks.
