Locke Lord’s environmental attorneys blend legal knowledge, technical experience, and business savvy to provide effective solutions to environmental issues. We are known for creating clear, business-friendly, and timely paths for resolution of environmental issues. Locke Lord’s environmental lawyers are go-to lawyers, across the spectrum of environmental legal issues, ranging from risk mitigation, Brownfields/remediation, ESG, enforcement defense, compliance and permitting, climate change, siting, and infrastructure development, endangered species, emergency response, PRP representation, litigation, and TSCA compliance.

Our environmental attorneys lead remediation and Brownfield work across the country, enabling historically and recently impacted sites to be put back into beneficial use. Our national ‎practice enables us to be immersed in the regulatory frameworks in different states and ‎to ‎develop close working relationships with regulators, consultants, and local project ‎teams in ‎these jurisdictions.‎

We work with energy and industrial companies across the United States on enforcement, operational compliance, permit structuring for operational flexibility, and mitigating liability, including through state and federal audit and immunity programs. We also work with clients to measure and baseline ESG metrics and develop policies and programs to increase corporate value through sustainability analyses.
