Practical Problem Solvers – Sound Advice for Environmental Law & Litigation
The environmental attorneys at Morris Downing & Sherred, LLP have diverse, broad-based experience capable of supporting our clients' litigation, regulatory and transactional needs.
Our attorneys have been involved in all phases of administrative disputes and litigation under CERCLA, the federal Superfund law, and New Jersey's Spill Act. We have represented major corporations as trial and appellate counsel in litigation involving liability for hazardous waste remediation under these statutes.
We also have strong regulatory experience before administrative boards and agencies. We handle administrative hearings on wetlands, stream encroachment, hazardous waste, and wastewater matters, as well as on issues involving a variety of permitting questions.
In commercial transactions, we regularly advise and assist our clients with Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) issues, including negotiating with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to obtain negative declarations and No Further Action letters. We have also assisted clients undertaking site investigations and remediations in New York and Pennsylvania.
We also provide support for a wide array of commercial transactions, including the environmental implications of stock transfers, asset sales and purchases, mergers and acquisitions, and drafting environmental provisions in contracts and lease agreements. Our skilled lawyers have coordinated many Phase I and Phase II site investigations, and for our Bank clients, have assessed the potential for lender liability when property is obtained involuntarily through foreclosure.
The attorneys at Morris, Downing & Sherred are practical problem solvers and have worked on numerous development projects. We have represented developers and investors and are fully familiar with Federal, State and local environmental laws and their impact on Zoning, Land Use & Real Estate Matters.
