Speaker profile
Philip A Moffat
Philip Moffat founded Verdant Law to address the growing need for sustainability-related legal services and respond to the demand for greater value in the delivery of legal services generally.
Mr. Moffat graduated with high honors from the University of Florida Levin College of Law while earning his Master’s of Science in Environmental Engineering Sciences. For his superior academic achievement, Mr. Moffat was inducted into the prestigious Order of the Coif, an honorary scholastic society.
In addition to his education, Mr. Moffat’s experience has enabled him to assist individuals, as well as numerous members of the industrial and commercial sectors, with highly technical matters arising in the litigation, regulatory, and transactional contexts. His practice has encompassed a variety of environmental, health, and safety-related matters although he now focuses almost exclusively on the environmental regulation of products. Mr. Moffat has provided legal services to many of the largest American companies listed in Newsweek’s “Green Rankings,” but he has also assisted many small and medium-sized companies with their sustainability strategies.
Mr. Moffat’s accomplishments have been recognized by others. Journalists seeking legal commentary have also recognized Mr. Moffat’s focus, often interviewing and quoting him on the tort liability and regulatory implications associated with developing and commercializing chemicals and products, as well as emerging technologies such as nanotechnology.
