About

Provided by Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt PC

Schwabe’s environmental team includes some of the most experienced and ‎knowledgeable attorneys in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, providing legal guidance on the regulatory matters affecting industry, agriculture and landowners.

Our clients include a broad array of businesses, from Fortune 500 companies to local farms, which we help navigate the web of environmental regulations. We ‎advise clients on issues such as handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, health and safety regulations, permitting (stormwater, process water, ‎air emissions, health and safety), investigation and remediation of contaminated properties, ‎and regulatory enforcement actions with state and federal agencies.
