Nelson Mullins offers the full range of environmental legal services, including compliance audits, enforcement, permitting and litigation for all types of industry, Greenfield and Brownfield developments, and land use planning and zoning.

With increasingly stringent environmental controls, industrial and development companies need a law firm that keeps up with changing regulations to ensure compliance. Nelson Mullins' Environmental Practice Group can assist in all aspects of environmental counseling, from complex, multi-party litigation to civil and criminal enforcement of regulations. This group is multi-disciplinary, with attorneys having trial and litigation management experience as well as significant regulatory and technical experience in environmental policies.

Our attorneys focus on cutting edge environmental issues and maintain close contact with the relevant regulating agencies. As a result, they are well situated to respond to environmental enforcement actions and lawsuits, and are also well-prepared to counsel clients on enforcement and liability avoidance whether based on state or federal requirements.

CERCLA cost recovery cases, groundwater contamination tort claims, multi-party toxic tort litigation, permit appeals, civil enforcement, insurance coverage disputes, and environmental citizens' disputes are a few of the types of litigation cases that the Environmental Practice Group has prosecuted and defended. If clients are searching for alternatives to trial, many of our attorneys have extensive experience in Alternative Dispute Resolution.
