Environmental Law

Tungsten Law Center has extensive expertise in all aspects of environmental law, including regulatory compliance, contaminated real estate transactions, tort litigation, including CERCLA and state Superfund, and administrative, civil, and criminal enforcement defense. Our attorneys appear before a variety of federal, state, and local agencies to help clients navigate the regulatory maze of soil, groundwater, and air pollution and cleanup. Our members have extensive experience representing corporations, their officers, and public bodies in a variety of complex environmental disputes, including recourse, toxic torts, criminal and civil enforcement matters.

Soil and Groundwater Contamination Cost Reimbursement Procedures

Tungsten Law Center regularly assists corporate clients named as potential responsible parties at major state and federal Superfund sites in cleanup and reimbursement matters initiated by state and federal agencies and/or private entities. Tungsten Law Center also has experience in filing and defending soil and groundwater contamination remediation claims under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and other federal and common law causes of action.

Scope Of Environmental Insurance

Tungsten Law Center's environmental activities also lead to large-scale insurance coverage operations. Tungsten Law Center has been involved in numerous environmental insurance matters, securing payment of defense costs in litigation from our clients' insurance companies and winning awards from our clients for hazardous waste cleanup. We have had great success in bringing multiple airlines to the table early on on underlying disputes, thereby avoiding the need to negotiate insurance coverage disputes to the extent possible. However, when negotiations with carriers were unsuccessful, we successfully took compensation issues to court.
