If your business has been inspected or has received a notice from the federal, state and local environmental agencies you should consider retaining an environmental lawyer. Environmental laws are complex, vary from state-to-state, and require extensive knowledge and expertise to navigate. The lawyers at Hessian & McKasy's Environmental Practice Group work with businesses and their counsel to address environmental liability concerns. We represent businesses ranging in size from Fortune 500 companies to medium and small businesses. We provide advice as to environmental conditions that exist on property and investigation and cleanup of those conditions. To avoid or minimize liability, property needs to be assessed to ensure that liability concerns have been properly addressed. Parties who purchase industrial or commercial property without conducting due diligence may be liable for existing contamination. It is prudent to address concerns prior to purchasing the property. For additional information on the types of environmental law matters we assist with, please see the descriptions on the Practice Area Tab.
