Environmental and Toxic Exposure Law

The emergence and growth of the body of laws surrounding environmental and toxic exposure is one of the more interesting legal phenomena of the latter half of the twentieth century. Through our Environmental & Toxic Exposure Group, we work with clients on a wide range of issues that affect everything from manufacturing operations to real estate transactions and from construction projects to the shipping and handling of their products.

In terms of environmental services, we work with clients to ensure compliance with existing rules, regulations and statutes, and to anticipate the effects of proposed or pending ones. We protect their interests in real estate transactions, and we defend them as potentially responsible parties in Superfund (CERCLA) cases and other regulatory actions. We also represent clients in alternative dispute resolution procedures. We appear on their behalf before the Environmental Protection Agency, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, and other local, state and federal regulatory agencies. We also represent them in litigation before state and federal trial and appellate courts.

In terms of toxic exposure, we represent manufacturers and employers in claims against them for bodily injury and/or occupational disease allegedly caused by contact with toxic materials. Toxic torts often create complex and widespread litigation. They often involve large numbers of people with similar claims of injury or disease. And, they typically stretch over long periods of time. We have developed and have invested significant capital in state-of-the-art systems for managing representation of multiple parties in mass litigation. And, we have significant, successful experience in toxic tort arbitration, mediation and litigation, as suggested by the fact that we serve as counsel for over 30 clients defending them against product liability, premises liability and contractor liability claims.
