Environmental Permitting & Compliance

/Overview

Building and operating new developments, whether public or private sector, requires unavoidable regulatory interaction, permitting, and compliance. With a constantly evolving environmental landscape, clients need knowledgeable counsel to guide them through today’s regulations and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges.

Our team of seasoned environmental compliance attorneys focus on efficiently negotiating and securing permits across a spectrum of critical areas, including air, water granting and quality, solid and hazardous waste disposal, recycling, composting, and more. We first determine the best possible outcome for our clients and work back from there, leveraging our relationships with regulatory agencies and key technical staff to achieve the optimal outcome. When faced with administrative or judicial enforcement actions brought by entities such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state agencies, or concerned citizens, we stand by our energy clients, providing robust defense and advocacy.

At Nixon Peabody, we recognize the paramount importance of compliance, permitting, and adept legal representation. We are committed to safeguarding your interests and ensuring that your projects adhere to the stringent requirements set forth by the EPA and other regulatory bodies.
