Cost Recovery Litigation

Because both state and federal environmental statutes often allow a governmental entity to impose joint and several liability on a responsible party, corporate clients often find themselves responsible for environmental damage caused by other parties. Our attorneys assist these clients in recovering payment from other responsible parties. We have been selected by one client to oversee, manage and prosecute a national docket of these claims. Our attorneys are able to obtain substantial recoveries for clients that offset environmental remediation costs. A key goal of our firm is expanding our practice in this area by demonstrating the value of a vigorous cost recovery approach to clients with multiple sites posing historical and current environmental risks. We regularly consider handling such matters on a contingency fee basis.
