Drawing on our legal, regulatory, and scientific know-how, we find solutions to clients’ compliance, enforcement, remediation, and other environmental issues. From global corporations to individuals, we help clients contain and manage risk, facilitate deals, and protect their businesses.
Clients depend on our national team of environmental attorneys to navigate the complex maze of rules associated with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and additional relevant laws and statutes. We have been recognized by Chambers USA for our work with Superfund enforcement actions, RCRA permit negotiations, and corrective action issues.
We routinely advise clients on the full range of issues related to contaminated property, including brownfields and voluntary cleanup programs, compliance matters, underground and aboveground storage tank management and remediation, and vapor intrusion. Purchasers, sellers, tenants, and investors rely on us to facilitate transactions involving contaminated properties throughout the U.S. Our Superfund-related experience includes allocation of response costs among potentially responsible parties (PRPs), scoping of site assessment, removal, and remedial actions.
Our clients include Fortune 100 corporations, general and limited partnerships, municipalities, lenders, fiduciaries, state quasi-governmental authorities, and individuals. In addition to assisting with cleanup actions in the majority of states and EPA regions, we have helped clients avail themselves of the liability protections and incentives offered pursuant to brownfields and voluntary cleanup programs.
Our team includes attorneys with technical training and experience in chemical engineering, ecology, statistics and water quality, including master’s and doctoral degrees in environmental science and engineering. Among our team are a former EPA lead counsel for several multi-party cleanups, including sites with more than 100 PRPs, and the lead environmental counsel to one of Florida's largest cities with respect to its municipally owned CERCLA sites. One of our partners is a former chief of the Hazardous Waste Law Branch in the EPA’s Office of Regional Counsel, Region 4, who supervised the legal aspects of all CERCLA and RCRA actions taken in the eight southeastern states in that region.
