Lawhon & Associates, Inc. has a dynamic history that began in 1985 when the company was founded.

Our company’s founder, Dr. William T. Lawhon, previously worked as a research scientist and from 1973 to 1981 managed the Environmental Research Section at Battelle Laboratories. Later, Dr. Lawhon became the Director of R&D and NW Product Development for International Spike (Jobes). You can think of Dr. Lawhon when you see the little plant fertilizer sticks at the check out line of your favorite nursery or home improvement store!

In 1985, when a special client asked Dr. Lawhon to help their nationwide corporation with the management of their asbestos issues, he assembled a team of professionals – Lawhon & Associates, Inc.

As the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations evolved in the late 1980s, Lawhon kept pace by bringing in experts in hazardous materials management, industrial hygiene, geology, hydrogeology, microbiology and engineering. In the early 2000s, our expertise expanded to include maintenance plan advisory services to keep up with the ever-changing needs in real estate. Today, the company has a rich mix of professionals.

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, with offices in Cleveland, Akron and Dayton, we have completed projects ranging in size from less than $500 to more than $8.5 million throughout the United States and Canada.
