KBT&F's litigators have unparalled experience in the prosecution and defense of complex environmental litigation and in handling regulatory proceedings concerning industrial, post-industrial and disposal sites requiring clean-up or other action under CERCLA, RCRA and other federal and state laws and regulations.  We have extensive knowledge and expertise in such complex and challenging areas as: claims involving historical releases of hazardous materials that occurred many years or decades ago; claims involving challenges to the cleanup methodology that the government or a private party selected and implemented; complex causation claims; complex cleanup costs and damage assessment claims; and government, civil and criminal investigations.

The firm is national counsel for environmental litigation and regulatory remediation for major companies in the chemical, mining and metal refining, natural gas and other manufacturing and distribution industries.  We work closely with our clients to assist them in retaining environmental engineers, toxicologists and remediation experts, and in developing cost-effective abatement and remedial action work plans.  We also have extensive expertise in oversight of environmental health and safety audits and reviews, creation of effective audit and compliance management systems, and oversight and analysis of environmental insurance programs.
