Litigation related to environmental contamination and toxins has grown at a rapid pace as businesses come under greater scrutiny for their environmental practices and face potentially costly claims. We are active in virtually all key environmental forums, including New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Florida, and Pennsylvania.
Our involvement in the area of environmental law and toxic torts began in the early 1990s with asbestos and toxic chemical exposure claims. Our practice now encompasses all aspects of environmental law and toxic tort, including chemical exposure, lead paint, heavy metals, mold, and a variety of other toxic tort exposures. We are involved in the defense of defendants and potentially responsible parties (PRPs) at numerous major dump sites. Our firm has extensive experience in the handling of pollution matters from initial spill activity to final cleanup, providing assistance and counsel with respect to the various federal, state, and local requirements, pollution investigation, choice of remedial action plans, and restoration of the environment.
