Our Knowledge in Environmental Law and Litigation

Environmental issues are increasingly pervasive in contemporary law. New liability schemes and ever-changing regulations affect nearly all of our clients, from Fortune 100 manufacturers to hospitals, municipalities, schools, lenders, insurers and individuals. The attorneys in our Environmental Section help clients to reduce their exposure to environmental liability, understand the regulations affecting them, manage their existing problems and plan for the future.

We believe that environmental regulations need not impede progress. Through careful analysis, comprehensive planning, precise negotiation and tough litigation, we help clients anticipate and solve their environmental problems – and move on. Specific areas of practice include:

Regulatory compliance and enforcement issues
Litigation matters
Brownfields development
Real estate transactions
Environmental due diligence
