Environmental

Overview

Effective legal service in the environmental industry requires more than a thorough understanding of the alphabet soup of environmental law. We have attorneys who have devoted their careers to this industry; they know why the laws have been enacted and can explain how the laws impact your business. Our team will tirelessly advocate on your behalf before federal and state courts when laws are being misapplied against your business. And we advocate for appropriate changes to existing law. We have utilized various state Brownfields laws to promote major redevelopments of environmentally impaired property.
