Environmental

Driven by technical and scientific advances as well as societal and political forces, environmental regulation has rapidly emerged over the past 25 years as a major program. A proliferation of environmental statutes and regulations now impacts almost every business, poses challenges to new economic development and places increasing burdens on local governments. Bingham McHale continues to empower its clients with a competitive advantage by helping them anticipate and navigate this constantly evolving regulatory world.

We assist municipal governments, state agencies and universities with all aspects of environmental regulations including permitting; defense of enforcement actions; regulatory compliance counseling; the identification and management of environmental risks in real estate transactions and business acquisitions and mergers; and the development of impaired real estate. Our attorneys effectively engage in a wide range of environmental litigation and dispute resolution, including permit appeal proceedings; actions to recover clean-up costs; governmental enforcement actions; citizen suits and toxic tort claims.

Our perceptive attorneys provide knowledgeable and innovative solutions extending a broad spectrum of areas including air, wastewater, water quality, lake preservation, solid and hazardous wastes, land use and development, Superfund and cost recovery actions, animal feeding operations and more.
