In addition, we have successfully obtained insurance indemnification and reimbursement of claims arising from the contamination of land and groundwater, leaking underground storage tanks, industrial activities and other toxic spills. Our services for developers include guidance through the regulatory maze governing the redevelopment of tainted property, and assistance in reclaiming brownfields.

These efforts result in the preservation and enhancement of the value of property, fulfillment of the reasonable expectations of the community, and the timely receipt of development approvals.
