Provided by Lightfoot, Franklin & White, LLC

From single-plaintiff toxic tort cases, to class actions and mass joinders involving thousands of claimants, there is no matter Lightfoot lawyers can't handle.

Our team of attorneys have detailed subject matter knowledge and the ability to tackle the toughest scientific and technical issues. We have worked closely with many of the country’s leading medical, scientific and technical experts in defending such claims. We also assist clients in a variety of compliance matters and enforcement actions involving state and federal agencies, including matters involving the following regulations:

• Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Clean Air Act (CAA)

In addition, Lightfoot tries CERCLA cost-recovery actions and natural-resource damage claims. We also assist clients with environmental permitting and compliance work. Lightfoot attorneys also have extensive experience in challenging actions taken by federal agencies under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
