We have significant experience partnering with clients through strategic, cost-effective counseling, negotiations, and litigation. We help clients with siting and permitting of new projects, compliance assurance, auditing and environmental management systems for operating facilities, remediation and site closure, rulemakings, transactional support, and Superfund matters.

We work to resolve issues with the regulatory agencies and other interested parties through negotiation, but we stand ready to litigate when that is required, and we have decades of experience handling EH&S disputes before state and federal administrative agencies and courts, from permit appeals, rules challenges, cost recovery claims and contribution actions, to citizen suits. When our clients face an enforcement action, we have an extensive bench of former US EPA and state enforcement attorneys and former federal prosecutors who are experienced on both sides of civil and criminal enforcement actions. We have defended our clients’ interests in disputes involving a wide variety of issues including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, FERC, pipeline regulations, waters and wetlands issues, OSHA, and federal and state safety regulations.
