Environmental, Safety & Health Litigation

One of the unique strengths of our Environmental, Safety & Health Practice is the ability of our lawyers to litigate their own cases. Our combination of trial skills, appellate experience and substantive expertise allows us to provide sophisticated and cost-effective representation in the most complex environmental disputes. Our global team has defended civil and criminal enforcement cases brought by federal and state regulators, defended citizen suits, defended and brought cost recovery actions, litigated natural resource damage actions and handled the defense of a long list of multi-party and class action toxic tort actions. These include matters under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as well as corresponding state regulatory regimes and regimes in the UK and Australia.
