An important component of many business and real estate transactions is the applicability and operation of environmental laws. In addition, many businesses are faced on a daily basis with environmental issues and challenges. We draw upon the expertise of our Real Estate, Business and Finance and Litigation Departments to provide a seamless integration of the environmental requirements of our clients, whether as a part of a transaction or as the main issue to be resolved. When necessary, we coordinate our work with environmental consultants, engineers and other specialists to assure our clients a complete answer to their needs. Our areas of experience include Superfund, Clean Water Act (NPDES) Permits, Clean Air Act, Underground Storage Tanks, Hazardous Waste Management, Environmental Site Assessments, the Connecticut Transfer Act, Connecticut Superlien, the Connecticut Remediation Standard Regulations, Brownfields, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dredge and Fill (404) permits, State Inland Wetlands Permits, State Traffic Commission Permits, Stream Channel Encroachment Permits, Water Diversion Permits, and the Connecticut D.E.P. Water Classification System, to name a few. The area of environmental law is constantly changing, and therefore requires constant vigilance to ensure compliance. We take an active approach to keep our clients up-to-date regarding the impact of the latest laws and strategies that can be followed to minimize the adverse impact of environmental obligations on business operations, while at the same time advancing environmental conservation. We have the hands-on experience to understand the practical problems our clients face, and the legal expertise to recommend the best approach to solve those problems. If litigation becomes necessary, we can provide skilled representation, whether at the administrative, trial court or appellate level.
