Environmental Litigation

CLEARING the air

The Environmental Law Practice Group helps clients alleviate the “burden” of environmental regulations.

Environmental laws and regulations affect real estate purchases, construction projects, waste cleanups, hazardous material transportation, waste discharge and disposal, land-filling, and plant and factory expansion. Thus it is imperative that businesses know and understand applicable state and federal environmental statutes and regulations, the liabilities they create, and the obligations they impose.

We are an invaluable resource for the most up-to-date information impacting Michigan businesses. Our attorneys have a proven record of success representing clients in such areas as environmental investigation and cleanup, toxic torts, environmental regulation, and environmental insurance coverage.

Our clients have included a wide range of corporations, individuals, and insurance companies that have been involved primarily as defendants or potential responsible parties in litigation and administrative proceedings. The issues range from claims for personal injury due to exposure to chemicals and other hazardous substances, to claims for property damage resulting from soil and groundwater contamination, to demands for cleanup of contaminated sites.
