Overview
Foley Hoag’s Environmental Practice Group has been a preeminent national environmental practice for the past twenty years. Our experience allows us to identify critical environmental legal issues early and develop practical, cost-effective strategies to address them.

We provide strategic environmental compliance counseling for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, emerging businesses, environmental technology firms, institutions, municipalities, and state authorities. Such counseling can range from getting new facilities permitted, to in depth facility- or company-wide audits, to prompt and effective response to non-compliance situations.

- Government and Citizen Enforcement Suits
- Private Cost Recovery Actions

Finally, working in conjunction with our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practice, Foley Hoag Environmental lawyers assist clients with developing and implementing broad-based international CSR programs.
