Environmental Litigation
"The vast economic development and construction in this country accompanied by a much greater scientific understanding of the environment and the impact of development on it has further polarized the environmental movement and developers. The regulatory agencies are left somewhere in the middle, attempting to keep pace with changing times and science, and it is being challenged from both the left and the right in court constantly."
An excerpt from Environmental Regulation and the Current Law - John F. Sawyer, Esquire
Environmental Regulations Affect Everyone
If you are a business, you may be subject to air, water and waste regulations. If you are a real estate developer, you should be familiar with Natural Resource Damage (NRD) claims. Manufacturers can quickly become the subject of toxic tort lawsuits. These are just a few examples of ways in which environmental law may pertain to you. Our experienced attorneys can also assist you regarding:
- Environmental compliance litigation
- Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act
- Virginia Marine Resource Commission

- Environmental assessments (Phase I and II)
