About
Provided by Fishman Haygood LLP
Fishman Haygood represents plaintiffs in high-stakes environmental litigation in federal and state courts, focusing on claims arising from industrial contamination, contamination and other property damage from oil and gas operations, and land-loss in coastal wetlands. We regularly counsel landowners, state agencies, non-profits, private companies, and individuals in complex environmental disputes against some of the largest industrial operators. The firm has been on the forefront of coastal land loss cases on behalf of governments and private landowners, and has set a course for the restoration of lost coastal wetlands by securing injunctive relief requiring defendants to restore and protect damaged wetlands.
The cases our team handles are highly technical and require a great deal of scientific and operational understanding. Our attorneys are known for immersing themselves in the complicated aspects of cases, as well as for their ability to steer cases in a strategic and effective manner to achieve restoration of damaged property.
Our attorneys are also recognized for complex litigation and environmental advocacy and advise clients on a broad range of environmental matters, including coastal erosion and restoration, land contamination, surface and ground water contamination, asset retirement obligations, brownfield cleanup and redevelopment, and expropriation disputes. Our attorneys regularly teach these areas in law school classes and industry and legal seminars.
