Environmental Law

Environmental law is an intricate and complex area of modern legal practice, requiring flexibility and adaptability to successfully counsel clients in environmental matters. Our environmental lawyers have the depth of experience and knowledge in practicing cases that cross courts and proceedings at the local, state, and federal levels with overlapping legal and regulatory jurisdictions.  

Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith understands that the science underlying environmental legal issues is both technically difficult and rapidly changing. Our environmental and toxic tort attorneys have the background and expertise to master scientific and legal challenges and to provide successful strategies in these cases.

We have an outstanding record of defending environmental cases, including toxic torts, mold claims, chemical exposures, the Oil Pollution Act, and every level of regulatory compliance. Galloway has been fortunate to accumulate a number of notable and precedent-setting verdicts on behalf of our clients. 

In addition to the regulatory, transactional, and litigation aspects, environmental law occasionally involves crisis management. When an accident such as an oil spill, toxic leak, or refinery explosion happens, our environmental lawyers and emergency response team respond quickly, helping clients to properly investigate incidents immediately. 

The Galloway team goes way above and way beyond in all aspects of environmental law, providing result-driven representation that is trusted by our clients.
