Audrey Patterson joins Rhoades McKee
Rhoades McKee has announced that Audrey Patterson is joining the firm.
Patterson will work with clients in matters that include environmental permitting, agency rule-making and enforcement defense, regulatory compliance, pesticide regulation, ground contamination and cleanup, and food safety.
She began practicing law in California, focusing primarily on natural resources law and policy, with an emphasis on water rights and water quality. Patterson expanded into matters involving contaminated property, underground storage tanks, including policy work for the state’s UST reimbursement fund, chemical regulation (specific focus on pesticides), and consumer product labeling. She regularly dealt with legal issues arising under statutes such as the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Food Safety Modernization Act, Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. With her regulatory background, Patterson is well-positioned to support Rhoades McKee’s existing environmental and agricultural practices.
Prior to joining Rhoades McKee, Patterson served as a Director of Regulatory Affairs for a Fortune 500 corporation and as outside counsel to individuals and corporations. With this diverse perspective, she will be an asset in assisting clients to navigate regulatory environmental compliance, agency enforcement defense, and contract negotiations and drafting. Patterson has also served on national task groups charged with reviewing and reforming national regulations and guidance pertaining to the food and beverage industry. Patterson frequently managed matters relative to federal hazard communication standards, the Toxic Substances Control Act, and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act.
Patterson is a member of the State Bar of California, the State Bar of Michigan and the Grand Rapids Bar Association. She completed her Bachelor of Science at Ferris State University and her J.D. at University of the Pacific–McGeorge School of Law.
