Rapidly evolving regulations challenge businesses every day. Climate change, limited resources, increased scrutiny by community and non-governmental organizations, increasing calls for lower and lower pollution standards, and increased globalization impact the environmental rules and regulatory decisions that affect business. Our Environmental Group has helped develop, interpret, and implement nearly every major piece of environmental and energy legislation over the past 40 years.
We capably handle all aspects of regulatory compliance. We work with clients to analyze and minimize environmental risk through due diligence reviews and audits and guide them through the complex process of Superfund site remediation. We have seasoned litigators who understand how to present highly technical information to the courts and the public in an understandable way. Our lawyers efficiently assess matters, develop cost-effective litigation strategies, and bring disputes to successful conclusions through trial or settlement.
