Provided by Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP
Bradley's Environmental Practice Group consists of both a focused environmental regulatory and transactional practice and a litigation practice that includes real estate, environmental, and natural resources. They are committed to effectively and efficiently serving business clients while responding to shifting regulations and enforcement priorities. Their attorneys do more than stay abreast of environmental issues; they advocate for clients, who consider Bradley part of their team of trusted business advisors.
While they have extensive experience with knotty regulatory issues – such as compliance with the Clean Air Act and enforcement in highly regulated industries – they also provide sound, pragmatic legal advice to companies on transactional matters. Their team takes a hands-on approach, venturing beyond clients’ corporate offices and into the field – visiting plants, real estate holdings, and other sites – to respond to environmental issues with solutions that meet clients’ immediate needs, as well as their long-term goals.
They have relationships with state and federal regulators that allow them to deal effectively to resolve clients’ issues. The firm represents a broad range of clients in various industries, including large manufacturers; real estate builders and developers; construction and energy companies; utilities; financial institutions; insurance companies, brokers and policyholders; and retail gasoline service stations.
