Environmental requirements imposed by state and federal regulatory agencies are often difficult to understand and even harder to implement.
Most companies look for advice from environmental engineers, consultants and lawyers.
We counsel our clients on compliance, permits, land use, and negotiations with environmental agencies. We help secure consultants to address technical issues such as environmental audits for land transfers, corporate acquisitions and facility compliance. We help structure transactions to reduce environmental risks and avoid compliance problems, and we develop environmental management strategies and crisis response plans. When it is necessary to take court action, we pursue litigation on environmental issues in state and federal courts, and we have extensive experience in representing clients involved in administrative hearings with state and federal agencies. We have developed working relationships with the EPA , the Army Corps of Engineers , the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality , the Chesapeake Bay Local Assistance Department , and various agencies in other states.
