INTELLIGENT AND COST EFFECTIVE COUNSEL

Many of our clients are buying or selling environmentally impacted (Brownfield) properties, or are already engaged in a legal dispute over historic contamination clean up costs, between current and past owner or landlord and tenant. Others face unreasonable and expensive regulatory enforcement or permit requirements for ongoing operations. The financial stakes and legal fees in such matters can be extremely onerous.

Our goal is to offer top level expertise at rates significantly below Philadelphia Center City firms, and to use this expertise to solve your problem quickly and cost effectively. You can expect thoughtful and creative solutions to regulatory and liability issues, and regular budget estimates and progress reports. You can also expect that before we subject you to protracted and costly litigation, we will make sure that both sides thoroughly understand each other's position and have exhausted the opportunity for negotiation and/or mediation.

Another way in which we add value in providing environmental counsel, is to oversee the selection and performance of environmental consultants. The quality and cost of these consultants is a critical element to successful resolution of environmental projects, and we consider it part of our responsibility to assure that high quality work is received.
