Contaminated Sites + Waste Management

Drawing on our legal, regulatory, and scientific know-how, we find solutions to clients’ compliance, enforcement, remediation, and other environmental issues. From global corporations to individuals, we help clients contain and manage risk, facilitate deals, and protect their businesses. Our national team of environmental attorneys navigates the complex maze of rules associated with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and additional relevant laws and statutes.

What We Do

We routinely advise clients on the full range of issues related to contaminated property, including brownfields and voluntary cleanup programs, compliance matters, underground and aboveground storage tank management and remediation, and vapor intrusion. Purchasers, sellers, tenants, and investors rely on us to facilitate transactions involving contaminated properties throughout the U.S. Our Superfund-related experience includes allocation of response costs among potentially responsible parties (PRPs), scoping of site assessment, removal, and remedial actions.

Our team focuses on the strategic use of available grant and tax incentive programs, site investigations that support our clients’ specific objectives, assessment of regulatory and litigation risks, oversight of technical evaluations that characterize exposure pathways, and execution of remediation strategies that reinforce risk-based cleanup. We work on numerous brownfield, voluntary cleanup, and corrective action projects each year, enabling us to understand the regulatory framework in different states and develop close working relationships with consultants, regulators, and local project teams.
