Environment & Energy

Environmental and energy matters arise from the ever-changing regulatory laws and policies governing energy, the protection of human health and the environment, work place safety, natural resources and product safety.  

Miles & Stockbridge provides practical, innovative and effective solutions to these complex issues—whether embarking on defending regulatory enforcement matters and orders, day-to-day compliance counseling, due diligence for the acquisition or divesture of businesses or properties, understanding and limiting environmental liability risks, cost recovery and/or contribution claims for remediation cost, or the development of energy-related projects, the team’s seasoned and experienced attorneys help guide clients to satisfactory resolutions.

Bringing a practical approach to problem-solving, Miles & Stockbridge’s environmental and energy lawyers maintain both litigation and regulatory experience to best provide comprehensive insight into the ramifications of our clients’ decisions—and to pursue and defend their interests when necessary.

Our lawyers practice before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its Administrative Law Judges, the Environmental Appeals Board, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, analogous state and local agencies, state public service commissions, and state preservation and historic trust commissions and agencies, while maintaining effective, respectful working relationships with regulators.
