Unlike thirty years ago, every company is affected today in some way by environmental law. No industry is exempt. No employee is immune. This is true for line managers in their day-to-day business, for executives in their strategic decisions, and for legal counsel in advising clients about compliance, risk allocation, and preventive planning. Effective environmental counsel understands the business operations and business strategy of the client, is attuned to legislative and regulatory changes affecting the client's business, proactively counsels the client on cost-effective compliance, and represents the client in administrative and judicial proceedings.
At Thelen LLP, our overriding philosophy is to provide our clients with cost-effective representation to navigate the complex system of state and federal regulations, to adequately assess the risks of a given situation, to minimize legal exposure for past practices, and to maximize clients' recovery against others who are responsible.
