Phillips Murrah represents and assists clients in adhering to stringent environmental laws and regulations. We litigate in state and federal courts and in administrative proceedings and have handled the defense of environmental civil penalty and criminal cases, lawsuits involving disputes over environmental contract terms, cost recovery actions, and natural resource damage, among other cases involving environmental statutes. Our attorneys also provide regulatory counseling — negotiating environmental contract provisions and conducting due diligence audits in connection with mergers, acquisitions and project financings.
