About

Provided by Akerman LLP

Akerman offers a highly skilled Florida environmental practice that regularly works side by side with transactional and land use lawyers handling urban redevelopment, sophisticated financing, large land deals, and major construction projects, as well as distressed real estate, loan origination and recovery. Our core strengths include legal work surrounding contaminated property, environmental litigation, Brownfields redevelopment, wetlands permitting and enforcement.


Akerman serves as environmental counsel to Fortune 500 companies, publicly traded REITs, developers, and other public and private entities. We have extensive experience evaluating and managing contaminated property portfolios, obtaining Brownfield designation for these properties, and maximizing liability protection benefits for a range of property types including those sites formerly utilized for solid waste disposal/landfills, industrial manufacturing, golf courses, and gas and electricity generation. Our team has extensive experience in all facets of environmental counseling, permitting, due diligence, and litigation, including civil and criminal enforcement defense arising out of the major federal environmental statutes, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, CERCLA, FIFRA, RCRA, TSCA, and EPCRA. Akerman is the "go-to" law firm in Florida for wetlands permitting and enforcement matters due to our proven track record representing major corporations and developers.
