With one of the first and broadest environmental and natural resources practices in the U.S., Pillsbury is at the forefront of emerging issues, winning precedent-setting cases and providing innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
Pillsbury’s Environmental & Natural Resources group navigates clients through the complex array of environmental laws and compliance matters; advocates for clients on legislation, regulations and policy; appears for clients before regulatory agencies; and handles federal and state trial and appellate court litigation and administrative enforcement actions. We also advise on permitting, regulatory developments, climate change, worker safety, risk assessment, natural resources matters and crisis management. We help clients buy and sell companies, achieve and maintain compliance, control costs, manage environmental liabilities, and obtain regulatory approvals and defend against enforcement actions.
Our group includes lawyers who have served at federal agencies, including the U.S. EPA, Department of Justice, and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, allowing for keen perspective and insights. We have litigated hundreds of CERCLA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, RCRA, SDWA, NEPA, mandamus and other actions, representing billions of dollars in potential liabilities. Our lawyers have advised companies, associations and governments on 100+ climate change matters. Based in the most active U.S. environmental law centers, Washington, DC, California and Texas, we also leverage long-standing relationships with local law firms in other states and worldwide to resolve multijurisdictional issues around the globe. Working with environmental consultants and experts, we optimize efficiency and results.
