Environmental

Overview

Steptoe & Johnson’s environmental attorneys represent clients before federal, state, and local courts and administrative boards in civil, criminal, and administrative matters, and in administrative and legislative policy setting proceedings. Our attorneys regularly represent and advise businesses on compliance with environmental regulations, managing environmental risks associated with their operations, navigating the permitting process with regulatory agencies, and handling disputes related to environmental issues.

We understand the importance of minimizing fines and legal sanctions related to environmental matters. Our seasoned regulatory attorneys and litigators handle environmental and commercial litigation in high-profile cases. We have extensive experience in federal appellate environmental litigation before several federal district courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Our environmental attorneys possess the knowledge and experience to understand the highly technical nature of environmental and endangered species issues. This knowledge and experience are crucial to clients that are looking to navigate the complex local, national, and international environmental laws and regulations that affect their operations.

We also understand the value of taking preemptive steps to implement sustainable business practices that comply with laws and promote environmental stewardship that can lead to cost savings and an improved corporate image. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) attorneys frequently help businesses with their ESG strategy and plans which are increasingly important to investors, consumers, and stakeholders.
