About

Provided by Harter Secrest & Emery LLP

We help clients with all environmental aspects of their businesses, deals, and projects; we guide businesses through the maze of local, state and federal environmental regulations, zoning requirements, and cleanup obligations; and we work with our clients to protect them from environmental risk in the acquisition and sale of businesses and real property. We deliver practical, timely, and cost-effective counsel to turn plans into realities.

With two experienced environmental engineers turned lawyers on our team as well as three additional lawyers who practice exclusively in the area of environmental and land-use law, we bring decades of experience and extraordinary insight into addressing the environmental risks and issues which can impede business operations and growth.

We serve clients throughout New York state and across the United States. Our clients include corporations of all sizes and in a myriad of industries – from closely held companies to Fortune 100 multinationals – as well as commercial developers, municipalities, financial institutions, venture capital and specialized investment entities, utilities, colleges and universities, and individuals.
