Environmental Litigation

Stevens & Lee has successfully litigated and resolved environmental issues relating to contaminated soil and groundwater, underground storage tanks, indoor air, solid waste disposal and management, mining and subsurface rights and toxic and hazardous waste. We understand the importance of insurance coverage in these disputes and represent policyholders in major insurance coverage litigation.

We also represent clients in criminal investigations and prosecutions for environmental crimes, and provide assistance beginning with receipt of the grand jury subpoena or service of the search warrant through the defense of the prosecution.

Our environmental team also includes Donald R. Wagner, a lawyer and a Pennsylvania-licensed professional geologist with more than 30 years of experience providing professional environmental services to clients. Our team also partners with our bankruptcy lawyers to litigate high stakes insurance-related issues in environmental bankruptcy cases.
