We provide practical, common-sense advice on the environmental and permitting steps required to develop your project. We step in at the front end, assessing stakeholders, developers and project plans, to ensure no unnecessary or unanticipated delays.
We have significant experience in conducting site assessments to determine the environmental impact of construction and development projects. We have particular expertise in subsurface investigations and development of proposed remediation measures. Because we understand that the outcome of a site assessment can make or break a project, we work closely with you to explore and explain your options in full. Thanks to the many and varied assessments we have worked on, we are able to offer creative and unique solutions to help you address the most challenging issues you may face.
Our knowledge of the law, the regulatory framework and the underlying science is extensive. With this background, we are able to assist you in thoroughly assessing and evaluating environmental risks. Our attorneys help you assess the likelihood of contamination at a site. Where remediation may be necessary, we help you understand the requirements, the costs and the options. For lenders and borrowers, our services include monitoring of compliance issues and efforts.
We believe early planning helps ensure a project’s success. Our focus is on assembling the right team at the outset and then reaching out early in the process to regulators, community leaders, stakeholders and media. We confront concerns head on, using our legal knowledge to pave the way for your project’s approval.
