Environmental Law

CITIZEN SUITS

Owing to the current legal landscape, citizen suits remain one of the best routes for persons harmed by pollution to seek redress. Whereas many environmental enforcement actions can only be launched by government agencies, citizen suits can be pursued by any party which can satisfy the standing test outlined by the Supreme Court in the Lujan case. 

TORT LAW

A centuries-old branch of law, tort law covers everything from attractive nuisance to vicarious liability. Because it's so broad, tort law can be quite useful in the context of environmental pollution. The applicability of tort law depends upon the harm alleged, and the supporting facts, but we as a team are committed to finding out if tort law can help provide a solution for you.
