Environmental litigation presents a diverse set of challenges requiring careful consideration. The complexity of environmental statutes and regulations necessitates a deep understanding of their historical application when pursuing or defending companies against environmental claims. And some environmental laws give rise to both civil and criminal litigation based on the same underlying claims. The stakes in environmental litigation can be exceptionally high, coupled with the potential for injunctive relief.
Our firm recognizes the unique challenges in environmental litigation. We represent a wide range of clients, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, national and international, in both federal and state courts. We help navigate all sorts of disputes, whether they are administrative hearings, civil matters, business disputes, or bet-the-company cases, including not just toxic torts but chemical exposure and other matters.
