The Environmental Law Group at Davis Malm has substantial experience in all aspects of environmental law. In general, the practice is divided into regulatory compliance, litigation and civil enforcement, and transaction consultation. Regarding regulatory compliance, we advise and represent businesses and property owners in connection with local, state and federal regulatory requirements. This representation involves wetlands, waterways, discharge permits, access permits, environmental policy act compliance and hazardous material releases.
In the area of litigation and civil enforcement, we represent clients confronted with compliance violations by federal and state agencies and Superfund litigation. Additionally, we represent private parties in all aspects of contamination claims. In connection with consulting on transactions, environmental issues are involved in nearly all real estate and business transactions. As such, Davis Malm coordinates due diligence reviews, negotiates appropriate warranties, releases and indemnifications, and counsels purchasers, sellers, and lenders to aid them in their evaluation of such transactions. We have long-established working relationships with a wide range of environmental consultants. Davis Malm's environmental law experience includes:
