Panoramic: Automotive and Mobility 2025
Our lawyers have been personally involved in virtually every major rulemaking, legislative effort, and national litigation since the 1980s regarding EPA’s regulation of waste. We have deep experience in all waste types:
- Hazardous
- Solid (nonhazardous)
- Medical
- Electronic
- Radioactive (nuclear)
We cover all issues from waste generation through storage, treatment, disposal, and recycling. We are national waste counsel to numerous industrial companies, providing day-to-day compliance counseling, high-stakes civil and criminal enforcement defense, and permit negotiation and appeals in every state and EPA region. We regularly participate in key waste rulemakings and legislative efforts. And we serve as legal advisors and project managers for multimillion dollar clean-ups of contaminated property under the RCRA corrective action and closure programs.
