Brouse McDowell has developed a reputation for results-oriented, cost-effective litigation of complex issues. Senior litigation partners, talented associate attorneys and experienced paralegals are creative and flexible in working with clients and experts as a team to handle the myriad legal and technical issues involved in environmental cleanup cost recovery litigation.

A significant portion of Brouse McDowell’s environmental litigation practice centers on cleanup cost recovery issues. Often, we defend our clients in government and private-party CERCLA actions and actions brought pursuant to similar state statutes, or we prosecute similar claims for indemnification or contribution from responsible parties. Increasingly, our work involves claims by adjacent landowners and community groups with respect to properties ranging in size from large industrial or disposal facilities to neighborhood gas stations.

In addition, Brouse McDowell has vast experience and capabilities in the recovery of insurance proceeds for environmental liabilities, including for asbestos, mold and lead paint-related liabilities.

Brouse McDowell’s environmental attorneys are committed to utilizing the most advanced technological resources and the power of the Internet to reduce the expense of litigation and to communicate better, faster and more cost-effectively with our clients and with others, including the public and interested stakeholders.
