The exposure

Exposures in environmental law practice

Each practice generates claims in characteristic ways. Coverage is evaluated against the exposures specific to the work.

01

Regulatory deadlines & permits

Environmental permitting and reporting run on strict deadlines; a missed filing or permit condition can halt operations and create liability.

02

CERCLA & liability advice

Advice on cleanup liability, allocation, and contribution carries significant exposure when a client's liability is later expanded.

03

Diligence & disclosure error

Inadequate environmental diligence in transactions exposes clients to unbudgeted liability traced to counsel.
