Our team of environmental and land use attorneys, land use planners, GIS analysts and property appraisers is able to help clients throughout the entire lifecycle of virtually any environmental project. From due diligence prior to acquisition, land development to facilities siting and operation, we collaborate with clients to help secure permits and other authorizations for projects and defend them through administrative and judicial challenges and appeals, if needed.
Our clients span a wide range of industries and we understand the complexities of the environmental laws and regulations governing their operations. Our team is regularly involved in state and federal rulemaking and is positioned to counsel clients on regulatory compliance, as well as defend clients in regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, environmental class actions, and toxic torts claims.
