Our Environmental Group handles a substantial U.S. and international caseload, working across practices — including corporate, real estate, litigation, bankruptcy and restructuring, health care, trusts and estates, and labor — to provide the full range of environmental services clients need.

We advise on all aspects of environmental law, including transactional counseling, compliance, remediation, litigation, bankruptcy claim resolution, land use, sustainability, and climate change, across industries such as chemicals, industrials, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.

Our creativity, pragmatism, and business judgment differentiate us. We advise clients on environmental risks in mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, and financings; environmental compliance matters; Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act cases; federal and state enforcement proceedings; sustainability and climate change issues; remediation; environmental litigation and proceedings, including bankruptcies, transfer laws, and California’s Proposition 65; land use matters; and historic preservation.

We are responsive, practical problem-solvers who approach our clients’ needs holistically.

Lawyers in our group have practiced environmental law for more than 40 years and have served in a variety of leadership roles, including as a Fellow of the American College of Environmental Lawyers, chair of the Council on the Environment of New York City, former chairs of the New York State Bar Association’s Environmental Law Section and the Environmental Law Committee of the New York City Bar, and a three-time gubernatorial appointee to the New York State Environmental Board.
