Sullivan & Worcester helps clients address the impact of environmental and land use regulations on their operations and transactions. Our environmental attorneys regularly deal with matters involving contaminated properties; indoor air quality; wastewater discharges; air emissions; wetlands; waterfront development; the management and disposal of hazardous waste; zoning; pesticides; renewable energy; and environmental and historical impact reviews.
We resolve environmental and land use concerns arising in acquisitions and financings, and we represent clients in environmental/land use permitting, administrative enforcement matters and litigation.
