Devine Millimet's Environmental practice group works closely with our real estate, municipal, corporate, and bankruptcy lawyers in complex Brownfields redevelopment projects and business transactions. They resolve environmental permit transfer and compliance issues, develop environmental due-diligence strategies, negotiate remedial action plans, generate liability/risk allocation agreements, negotiate and draft covenants-not-to-sue, establish regulatory compliance schedules, and stay abreast of changing government policies and legislative developments in the area.

Our lawyers have also represented businesses, municipalities, and individuals in a wide range of state and federal environmental enforcement proceedings and private litigation involving toxic tort damage claims. Recent cases have included storm water discharge permit enforcement proceedings, Superfund cost-recovery actions, and matters involving wetlands dredge and fill permits, hazardous waste handling and disposal, point source wastewater discharges, Superfund and Clean Water Act reporting obligations, groundwater discharges, toxic mold and lead paint exposure, leaking underground storage tanks, and construction site spills.
