Environment

Lewis Brisbois’ Environment, Land & Natural Resources team, based in Washington, D.C. with a national reach, brings decades of experience in both government and private sectors to help corporations and trade associations effectively resolve regulatory challenges. With our deep understanding of the legislative and regulatory process, our lawyers work closely with clients to develop effective strategies for reducing regulatory burden, obtaining regulatory approvals, and appealing agency decisions administratively and in the courts.

Our attorneys, many of whom have held senior federal government roles, provide insight into legislative and regulatory trends. We identify policy trends, educate our clients on how regulations will affect business goals, provide insights on over the horizon implications, and position clients for successful navigation of the regulatory framework on federal and state levels. We are actively involved in high-stakes matters including multi-state hazardous waste litigation, environmental compliance, federal grant programs, and appellate cases.

Our collaborative approach sets us apart, as we leverage the collective expertise of our environmental attorneys based in D.C. and across more than 50 offices nationwide. With strong working relationships in the Administration, Executive Agencies, and on Capitol Hill, we organize broad coalitions that collaborate, pooling resources and political capital, to strategically address issues at the national level.
