Companies in the environmental sector face increasingly complex challenges, including evolving regulations, technological advancements and heightened public awareness. Our team brings decades of experience to bear on behalf of clients grappling with regulatory compliance, intricate litigation and transactional due diligence issues, as well as spills and other environmental catastrophes.
Connell Foley's Environmental Law Group is fluent in all federal, state and local environmental regulations. We provide sound advice regarding the Clean Air Act; New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), Brownfields and Contaminated Site Remediation Act and Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Act (HDSRA); and the federal Superfund law (CERCLA). Our lawyers routinely appear before — and negotiate with — major governmental agencies, including OSHA, USEPA, USDOJ, USDOT, NJDEP and NYDEC.
When crisis strikes, we manage risk through effective communications with lead investigative agencies, government organizations, potential claimants, employees and the media, facilitating a comprehensive plan to reduce the client’s litigation exposure. The Group’s strong credentials in specialized fields such as geology and public health contribute to an outstanding track record of successful outcomes. Several professional engineers and a certified industrial hygienist on the team bring additional deep understanding of the risks — and opportunities — that can impact clients’ businesses and reputations.
