Environment

Our environmental, energy and telecommunications lawyers provide sophisticated, practical, and cost-effective advice to clients facing a broad array of environmental health and safety (EH+S) challenges and electric, gas, steam, water, and telecom needs. Many of our team members have degrees in related scientific and engineering disciplines and/or prior employment with consulting firms or relevant governmental agencies. Whether it is in federal or state court, conducting due diligence, negotiating a purchase and sale agreement, obtaining a permit, siting a power generating or telecommunications facility, responding to a release, explosion, or inspection, or providing risk management guidance or advice on complex regulations, our team brings a deep knowledge and understanding of the law and a business sensitivity that result in outcomes our clients clearly value.

Taking full advantage of the breadth and depth of our group (one of the largest in the northeast), we staff matters smartly and leanly. Associates and non-lawyer professional analysts work directly with experienced partners, making for efficient client teams. We hold a leadership position relative to sustainable alternative fee arrangements and view these as valuable in structuring relationships with certain clients. We welcome the opportunity to engage in discussion with clients about the billing and staffing arrangements that best serve their needs.
