Litigation

Environmental litigation comes in many shapes and sizes. At MGKF, our environmental litigators handle cases in state and federal court, as well as arbitrations, mediations, and agency appeals, for a diverse client base ranging from large multi-national and Fortune 100 companies to smaller businesses, municipalities, and individuals. Our corporate clients alone come from a variety of sectors including manufacturing, chemical, petroleum, banking, real estate development, transportation, waste disposal, and resource recovery. We can tailor our representation to suit the needs of large and small, public and private clients with varying goals and objectives. Our litigators also have the benefit of drawing upon the services of our in-house technical consultants and our non-litigation environmental practitioners for their experience and knowledge.

MGKF's wide range of environmental litigation experience enables us to hit the ground running on issues we have handled before, and to efficiently and effectively develop creative and novel strategies in new and emerging areas of the law. Finally, our litigators are frequently called upon to evaluate and resolve environmental claims prior to the initiation of litigation.

Our environmental litigation practice has traditionally encompassed the following areas:

• Cost Recovery, Contribution and Citizen Suit Claims
• Toxic Tort Defense Litigation
• Class Actions
• Administrative Appeals
• Natural Resource Damages Claims
• Insurance Litigation
• Storage Tank Litigation
• Government Investigations, Enforcement and Penalty Actions
• Lender and Fiduciary Environmental Liability Claims
• Environmental Contract and Nuisance Claims

Our experience and the depth of our team make us a smart choice for handling your environmental litigation matters.
