Provided by Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP
Bradley's Environmental Law Practice Group consists of both a focused environmental regulatory and transactional practice and a litigation practice that includes real estate, environmental, and natural resources. We are committed to effectively and efficiently serving our business clients while responding to shifting regulations and enforcement priorities. We do more than stay abreast of environmental issues; we advocate for our clients, who consider us part of their team of trusted business advisors.
While Bradley attorneys have extensive experience with knotty regulatory issues – such as compliance with the Clean Air Act and enforcement in highly regulated industries – we also provide sound, pragmatic legal advice to companies on transactional matters. We take a hands-on approach, venturing beyond our 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.
We have relationships with state and federal regulators that allow us to deal effectively to resolve clients’ issues.
