The firm’s Environmental Practice Group is comprised of a multi-disciplinary group of attorneys who focus their practices in environmental law, transactional real estate, redevelopment and land use, corporate law and litigation. Attorneys in this group work collaboratively to provide representation on the multi-faceted environmental issues that arise in business transactions, real estate deals, administrative proceedings and litigation.

• The allocation and management of environmental risk in contracts
• The role of environmental insurance policies as a risk management tool in both transactions and operational scenarios
• Project financing
• Environmental land use issues
