Our regulatory attorneys advocate for you in regulatory compliance and enforcement matters arising under a variety of environmental statutes, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, CERCLA (Superfund), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and state programs.
