About
Provided by Fishman Haygood LLP
Fishman Haygood represents plaintiffs in high-stakes environmental and commercial litigation in federal and state courts, with a focus on claims arising from industrial contamination, oil and gas operations, and property damage. We regularly counsel landowners, state agencies, non-profits, private companies, and individuals in complex environmental disputes against some of the oil and gas industry’s largest operators. The firm's seminal coastal land loss case, Vintage Assets Inc. v. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C., et al., set a course for the restoration of lost coastal wetlands that surround pipelines by requiring specific performance of pipeline company defendants and an ongoing obligation to protect wetlands from future erosion.
The cases our team handles are highly technical and require a great deal of scientific and operational understanding. 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 the overarching goal of litigation.
Attorneys are also recognized for complex litigation and environmental advocacy and advise clients on a broad range of commercial and environmental matters, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, coastal erosion and restoration, land contamination, land use, clean water, asset retirement obligations, brownfield cleanup and redevelopment, regulatory and permitting matters, and expropriation disputes.
