Environmental
Our Environmental team advises businesses, property owners, developers, and municipalities on navigating complex environmental laws and regulations. We provide strategic legal guidance that helps clients manage compliance, reduce liability, and move projects forward with confidence.
We assist with permitting, environmental due diligence, site remediation, and transactional risk management under federal and state regulations, including the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, RCRA, and CERCLA. Our attorneys regularly counsel clients on brownfield redevelopment, wetlands issues, stormwater permitting, and underground storage tank compliance.
When enforcement actions or disputes arise, we represent clients before the EPA, Ohio EPA, and other regulatory agencies. We handle administrative proceedings, appeals, and litigation involving environmental liability, cleanup obligations, and cost recovery.
Whether advising on regulatory compliance, defending against enforcement, or managing environmental risks in real estate and business transactions, we deliver responsive, practical legal counsel that protects our clients’ interests and supports long-term sustainability goals.
