Environmental Defense

Our lawyers address a wide range of environmental matters, including:

• Advocating for you during the rulemaking process of environmental regulations;
• Civil cost recovery: when environmental cleanup occurs, the party who undertakes the cleanup often looks for others to recover part or all of the cost;
• Reviewing your environmental impact to help you comply with the requirements of the State Environmental Quality Review Act; and
• Defense against lawsuits arising from injuries caused by environmental hazards such as asbestos, toxic mold, or lead paint.
