Environmental Litigation Services

Environmental litigation often involves navigating complex regulatory frameworks and addressing technical issues that require a thorough understanding of both the law and its application. At HBC, our experienced legal team helps clients resolve environmental law disputes efficiently and effectively.

Litigation Services

Our litigation practice covers a wide range of environmental matters, including:

  • Defense against Clean Air Act (CAA) and Clean Water Act (CWA) enforcement actions

  • Handling disputes related to hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

  • Representation in CERCLA/Superfund liability cases

  • Addressing claims involving toxic substances and chemical contamination, including those arising under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)

  • Resolution of citizen suits and private party disputes, including common law claims such as nuisance and trespass

 

We represent clients in administrative proceedings, state and federal courts, and alternative dispute resolution processes, working with local governments, large businesses, and trade organizations, among others, to represent their interests and tailor our approach to meet the needs of each case.
