Compliance Counseling

As environmental statutes and rules become increasingly pervasive and complicated, achieving and efficiently maintaining compliance grows more difficult. To survive and thrive today, businesses must not only be prepared to react successfully to environmental crises; a successful organization must develop and maintain compliance programs which in a very sophisticated way will accomplish the following:

  • Minimize exposure to or provide insulation from environmental and toxic tort liabilities
  • Address the risks inherent in products, production processes and property acquisitions
  • Achieve compliance with regulatory programs
  • Substantially limit use, emission, discharge and disposal of toxic materials
  • Reduce and manage compliance costs

We draw upon our substantial governmental and private experience and the resources of the Firm to represent clients in the practical and legal aspects of environmental compliance and liability. These efforts have ranged from pesticide and drug registrations to major source permits and environmental impact reviews and have also included the publication of the five volume LexusNexis treatise entitled The Law of Hazardous Waste: Management, Cleanup, Liability, and Litigation. Whether preparing a summary of applicable regulatory requirements or providing representation in administrative proceedings, we are known for our client centered, problem solving approach.
