Environmental

The attorneys in Greenbaum’s Environmental practice bring comprehensive knowledge and experience to the task of advising and representing clients on issues within this complex, continually evolving area of the law. The firm’s work encompasses the full spectrum of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and their impact on real estate, business and lending transactions and business operations. We bring particular expertise to the representation of clients with business interests in New Jersey, helping them navigate an array of stringent and often pioneering environmental regulations which create a unique legal landscape requiring sophisticated legal counsel.

We understand that environmental considerations are critical to every business operation, transaction, and development project. Our environmental attorneys are adept at guiding clients through the intricacies of issues ranging from the remediation of contaminated properties and brownfields to managing regulatory compliance requirements, the assessment and allocation of environmental risks, complying with transaction-triggered environmental laws such as New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) program, dealing with institutional and engineering controls such as deed notices and use restrictions, securing environmental permitting, addressing hazardous waste issues, counseling on environmental aspects of business and real estate transactions and operations, and a broad range of environmental litigation and dispute resolution matters, estimating and resolving environmental liabilities in insolvency proceedings, administrative proceedings, and environmental disclosures. The firm’s clients in this area include real estate developers, property and business owners and operators, manufacturers, REITS, privately and publicly held companies, landlords, tenants, financial and lending institutions, investors, trustees and individuals.
