Overview

Environmental and energy laws, regulations and issues impact businesses in nearly every industry, often in very significant ways. At Faegre Drinker, we understand the legal and regulatory issues that impact your goals and bottom line, and we partner with you to develop comprehensive solutions to the most complicated environmental and energy challenges. Our regulatory attorneys advocate for you in regulatory compliance and enforcement matters arising under a variety of environmental statutes, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, CERCLA (Superfund), Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and state programs. When negotiation fails, we litigate environmental matters of all types ranging from large, multiparty cleanup cases to contractual disputes over environmental liabilities. Faegre Drinker energy attorneys deliver transactional, regulatory and litigation support to renewable energy facilities, upstream, downstream and midstream energy assets, conventional and nuclear power plants and a range of other infrastructure projects. We also assist with energy and environmental industry mergers and acquisitions, cleantech investments and market transactions. Our footprint in both large and smaller markets — and a strong pipeline of attorneys and professionals — enables us to provide client value across all environmental and energy matters. Our team is ready to handle any aspect of environmental and energy litigation, transactional and compliance challenges you face.
