Environmental Practice

Downey Brand's environmental practice has earned an impressive reputation by working on some of the state's largest and most complex environmental matters. Our clients are often statewide or national in scope, and we are frequently called upon to represent clients in high-profile multi-party disputes. We help guide businesses through the process of air, water, solid and hazardous waste regulation and permitting, and our environmental litigators have extensive negotiation and litigation expertise.

Additionally, the firm has a statewide water quality practice that advises clients on the full range of issues they might face under the Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act.
