Our Environmental Group represents clients on a broad range of environmental issues, including wetlands, coastal development and resilience, protected species, water quality and water use, property contamination, brownfields, waste management, sovereign submerged lands, due diligence, mining, natural resource extraction, wastewater/stormwater management, beach nourishment, and climate change throughout Florida and the Southeast. Our team of environmental and land use attorneys, land use planners, GIS analysts and property appraisers are able to help clients throughout the entire lifecycle of virtually any environmental project. From land development, to facilities siting and mineral extraction, we collaborate with clients to secure permits and entitlements for projects, and to defend them if challenged administratively or through citizen-suit challenges. We represent clients across various industries and recognize the complexity of the environmental laws and regulations governing their operations. Our team is regularly involved in state and federal rulemaking and is positioned to counsel clients on regulatory compliance matters and to defend clients in state and federal regulatory investigations, compliance challenges, enforcement actions, and in environmental class actions and against toxic torts claims. We can help you navigate the legal landscape surrounding your transaction, project, or operations, and help to develop a comprehensive strategy to protect your interests.
