    Environmental Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management

    We use our legal, strategic and technical skills, experience and knowledge of all facets of regulated industries to develop practical solutions for our clients, minimizing business and regulatory risks for the future.

    /Overview

    In today's ever-changing environmental regulatory landscape, staying ahead of the curve is essential. At Nixon Peabody, our team of dedicated environmental attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of environmental regulatory compliance, including Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations. We understand all facets of the regulatory industry and can manage those risks for clients.

    Our practice covers air and water pollution control, hazardous and solid waste management, accidental releases of oil and hazardous substances, state and federal Superfund matters, and asbestos abatement. We work with clients to design and implement compliance assessment programs and environmental, health, and safety management systems, resolving the issues identified in our findings.

    In addition to these services, we also write internal audit manuals, conduct auditor training, and assist with TSCA compliance. Our daily involvement with state environmental agencies fuels our unparalleled insight on regulatory risks and solutions, ensuring that your business remains compliant and well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

    /Recognition

    • Nixon Peabody has been named a Tier 1 National firm for Energy Law and Environmental Law in the 2024 edition of Best Law Firms®.
