Environment

Babst Calland's Environmental practice is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the country, with more than 40 full-time attorneys who focus their practice on environmental and regulatory compliance and litigation. Unlike other law firms, Babst Calland’s environmental attorneys concentrate on specific areas, such as air and water pollution, industrial and municipal wastewater management, hazardous and solid waste disposal, complex site remediation, natural resource damages, chemical regulation and occupational safety and health.

With more than four decades of experience, Babst Calland has a history of working with federal, state, and local government regulatory agencies on behalf of our clients to resolve complex environmental, enforcement, permitting and compliance matters. The Firm represents a wide range of clients from Fortune 100 companies to small and mid-sized businesses among various industries and business sectors including chemical, natural gas, coal, oil, power generation, steel, heavy and light manufacturing, public authorities and municipalities, research and development, transportation, waste disposal, commercial development, and banking and finance.

Our attorneys have strong technical and scientific backgrounds, often with in-plant or field environmental experience. Several attorneys have also worked within regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
