Environmental, Land Use and Energy Law

We are active in all areas of environmental law. Our practice concentrates on environmental permitting and enforcement, citizen suits, regulatory affairs and hazardous waste relating to state and federal Superfund matters, and land use planning.

Our environmental practice also includes compliance auditing and advice regarding commercial and residential real estate transactions and financing, and environmental aspects of business transactions. We take pride in creative, cost-effective risk management in this complex area which includes brownfields development and cost recovery strategies.

Our work includes permitting and compliance advice under all state and federal regulatory programs, municipal environmental matters, and general litigation and advice related to environmental liability, land use activities, zoning and compliance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act. We keep our knowledge current in this rapidly changing field and are able to provide advice regarding new compliance requirements and trends.

We are also experienced in energy regulation, permitting, contracting and litigation, particularly on behalf of industrial clients. This is an important and dynamic area as New York continues to restructure utility laws.
