Dana Stanton is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Energy & Environmental practice group. She assists clients to achieve compliance with complex environmental laws and regulations.
My practice focuses on the development, financing and buying/selling of energy and solid waste projects. I perform environmental diligence for clients that rely on me to identify and evaluate existing and potential environmental liabilities and structure deal provisions to eliminate and allocate risks.
I also counsel developers and lenders in contaminated property and brownfields redevelopment, including advising on federal, state and local programs to obtain liability relief.
Additional areas of focus for my practice are environmental cost recovery litigation, brownfield transactions, municipal law and land use litigation. I oversee the cleanup of contaminated property from investigation, through remediation, to site closure.
I have been following the growing utilization of renewable energy generation and green infrastructure as a way to serve the needs of society with minimum disruption to fragile ecosystems and other natural resources.
