Environment

Avoiding risks to operations and reaching resolution as quickly as possible.

The Spencer Fane Environmental team has deep experience helping clients not only identify and resolve acute environmental challenges – regulatory enforcement actions and litigation – but also providing guidance that helps reduce near-term and long-term business risks.

We also know that legal issues are just one among many important considerations to navigate when dealing with an environmental matter. Keeping a business operating, finding and seizing opportunities for growth, and strategizing for the future, are just as important.

Helping businesses across a wide range of industries.

We help manufacturers, oil and gas operators, industrial facilities, real estate developers, construction contractors, and related businesses address and resolve environmental challenges. Steering clear of unending deliberations over countless possible outcomes to an environmental issue, we help clients move forward and achieve their legal and business goals.

We advise on matters involving the Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund); TSCA; FIFRA; NEPA; the Endangered Species Act; and wetlands regulations, along with state and local environmental programs.
