Babst Calland

Our environmental regulatory attorneys spend time in the field and at your plant sites assisting your company to understand the often times complex requirements that apply. We monitor federal, state and local agencies’ development of new and revised regulations and represent our clients during the regulatory development process to effectively impact the regulations that are finally promulgated. We understand the regulatory process. Our attorneys participate in advisory boards to the agencies. We are prepared to assist our industrial clients in their efforts to impact the regulatory process and to understand the regulations that apply to their businesses.

We represent clients in enforcement actions instituted by the environmental regulatory agencies as well as by environmental organizations. We frequently engage in negotiations with the environmental agencies or environmental groups to resolve matters short of litigation. However, when the time comes to fight, we will team with our litigation attorneys to vigorously defend our clients’ interests. We routinely defend alleged noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations in administrative tribunals, and state and federal courts. Our expertise with any specific environmental topic allows us to effectively assess enforcement matters and appropriately response by negotiating settlement agreements or litigating when necessary.

Babst Calland is proud of its diversified management structure where a number of attorneys at the firm have the opportunity to actively participate in the management of the firm.
