 The
Environmental Department advises clients on various compliance
matters, including compliance with all major environmental
programs (e.g. RCRA, CAA, CWA, Brownfields, etc.) and with
regard to investigation and remediation of contaminated
sites. Our environmental attorneys work with the transactional
groups to structure transactions that minimize potential
environmental liabilities and with the zoning and land use
groups on SEQRA (environmental impact review) issues.
The Firm represents clients in environmental enforcement
actions, including both those actions where government
entities allege violations of environmental laws or regulations,
and those actions where the government or private parties
seek to impose civil liability, such as Superfund cost
recovery issues. Our environmental attorneys also coordinate
investigatory efforts with client-selected environmental
consultants.
The environmental practice group has extensive dealings
with properties impacted by soil and ground water contaminants,
mold, asbestos and indoor air quality issues, and with procurement
of environmental insurance policies.
