Environmental Regulation
Balch & Bingham’s Environmental & Natural Resources Practice Group serves a diverse array of clients and industries across a broad spectrum of environmental practice areas. In all respects, our practice group provides exceptional legal counseling to its clients and vigorous legal representation before governmental agencies and the courts. Recognizing that environmental law and policy is ever-changing, our lawyers stay on the cutting edge of the issues that are important to our clients. With twenty-one attorneys focused exclusively on environmental law, and several additional attorneys with experience handling environmental issues, the group constitutes one of the largest environmental practice groups in the Southeast.
In addition to providing legal counsel to our clients, our Environmental & Natural Resources Practice Group has substantial experience handling environmental disputes, ranging from Clean Air Act enforcement cases and Clean Water Act/Resource Conservation and Recovery Act citizen suits to toxic tort litigation, and everything in between. We defend our clients in enforcement actions brought by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies under the full panoply of environmental statutes. In addition, we litigate all types of private disputes concerning environmental issues, including toxic tort and exposure cases, nuisance cases, land use disputes, and environmental insurance coverage claims. We recognize the value of alternative dispute resolution and appropriate settlements, but sometimes taking a case to trial is the best alternative, so our practice group includes experienced and willing trial lawyers.
We are litigators and regulatory counselors, but most of all, we are problem solvers.
