Environment

Mandelbaum Barrett PC’s Environmental Law Practice Group offers comprehensive legal support for transactional, regulatory, and litigation matters. With deep experience in state and federal laws, we help clients navigate complex environmental challenges across industries.

Real Estate & Business Transactions

We assist with environmental risks in sales, leases, financing, and M&A deals. Our team manages due diligence, site assessments, and negotiates liability protections like environmental insurance.

Remediation & Cost Recovery

We guide clients through cleanup laws including the NJ Spill Act, ISRA, SRRA, and Superfund. We help recover costs through grants, insurance, and other funding sources.

Development & Permitting

We support redevelopment of contaminated sites and obtain permits for projects near wetlands, flood zones, and other protected areas, while securing Brownfields incentives.

Capping Cleanup Costs

We negotiate guaranteed-cost cleanup contracts and cost-cap insurance to limit clients’ liability for known contamination.

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

We represent clients in environmental disputes, recovering cleanup costs and resolving claims through litigation or settlement.

Compliance & Industry Support

We advise on air and water permits, USTs, hazardous waste, and right-to-know laws, and represent businesses such as manufacturers, gas stations, auto dealers, recyclers, and dry cleaners.
