Environmental Litigation
For more than four decades, environmental litigation has been at the heart of our work.
We live in a world where the production of goods often comes with environmental costs—including hazardous waste, toxic chemicals, and long-term pollution. While some companies take steps to manage their impact, many do not. Backed by teams of high-paid lawyers, these corporations often fight to protect harmful practices, even when the damage to people, communities, and the planet is catastrophic.
We represent the public agencies, nonprofits, and advocacy organizations who step up to protect natural resources, public health, and future generations. We also help individuals seek justice when they have been harmed by man-made environmental catastrophes. Our work includes lawsuits brought under key federal and state environmental laws.
Environmental litigation isn’t just about the law—it’s also about the science. These cases often involve complex data, technical reports, and deep coordination with environmental scientists, economists, and public health experts. Our attorneys have the experience—and the fluency in these fields—to not only understand the evidence, but to make it compelling in court. It’s this combination of legal skill and technical insight that allows us to take on the toughest environmental challenges for our clients.
