At Resnick & Louis, P.C., we understand that environmental liability claims present significant challenges due to the complexity of the laws and regulations that govern them. For clients outside the environmental arena, navigating these regulatory frameworks often overlapping at federal, state, and local levels can be daunting. Our team of seasoned environmental law professionals offers the experience and insight necessary to help clients interpret and defend against such complex claims.
Our attorneys are well-versed in the full scope of environmental statutes and regulations, and we maintain a robust network of technical experts and consultants to support our clients’ needs. Our experience includes claims and corporate risk management, coverage analysis, and environmental remediation across a range of contexts—from small businesses and residential properties to large-scale Superfund sites.
We routinely handle litigation involving chemical spills, environmental and workplace exposures, and contamination of soil, air, and water. In addition, our team has in-depth knowledge of environmental tax incentives, including those related to fuel-efficient vehicles, solar panel installations, and energy-efficient construction materials.
