About

Provided by Greenberg Glusker LLP

Our Environment Group focuses on achieving cost-effective solutions to the challenges arising from environmental contamination, environmental regulation and other environmental concerns. Chambers and Partners has ranked Greenberg Glusker as a Leading Law Firm in Environmental Law.

Whether in litigation, regulatory proceedings or negotiations, we have handled hundreds of matters under Superfund (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, CEQA, and Proposition 65.

Greenberg Glusker attorneys combine their years of experience with legal, technical, and business know-how to provide practical solutions to the environmental challenges facing our clients. The depth and breadth of our Environment Group’s experience is exceptionally strong. Our lawyers’ resident expertise is not dispersed across dozens of attorneys in different offices but is concentrated in one office, allowing us to more efficiently provide a broad range of services.

While our office is in Los Angeles, we represent industry associations, Fortune 500 companies, public entities, small businesses trusts, individuals and others in hundreds of environmental matters throughout California and the nation.
