Environmental Counseling

Sound environmental compliance strategy is vital in order to avoid or minimize future liabilities. FWC can provide sophisticated, innovative and cost effective legal counseling and representation in virtually all areas of environmental law locally, nationally or internationally.

 
  We employ attorneys with considerable experience with laws and regulations relating to air and water pollution, chemical regulation, solid and hazardous waste management, conveyance of real property and the purchase and sale of business assets.

In addition to representing clients before federal and state administrative bodies in all aspects of environmental law including permit applications, we assist clients in developing appropriate contract provisions to allocate the burden and risk of environmental liabilities. When environmental disputes result in litigation, our attorneys have experience defending clients in federal and state enforcement actions, cost recovery and property damage actions. We also have considerable experience in environmental liability insurance coverage issues.

The environmental practice at FWC often transcends the environmental realm to include land use and governmental regulations and intersects other departmental lines in the firm regarding business operations, governmental relations and real estate acquisitions and financing.

The Firm's Environmental Practice also includes:

  • Mergers/Acquisitions/Divestitures
  • Real Property Transactions/Brownfields
  • Permitting/Rulemaking/Compliance Counseling
  • Superfund Defense
  • Governmental Relations
