ENVIRONMENTAL
 
Wolff & Samson offers a full service Environmental and OSHA practice to assist its clients in dealing with environmental and OSHA issues arising from litigation, regulation and transactions in a cost effective and client focused manner. The environmental and OSHA group represents industrial and commercial parties in the Federal and State courts and before Federal, State and local environmental agencies and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Group attorneys represent clients in both court ordered and private alternative dispute resolution and have acted as neutrals in such proceedings. Group attorneys counsel clients in developing programs, management systems and business practices to avoid environmental, safety and health legal problems on a matter-by-matter or company-wide basis. Our practice also involves counseling and due diligence on all environmental aspects of real estate and business transactions. Our group's experience enables our lawyers to deliver to our clients the high level of legal services and personal responsiveness necessary to satisfy both business and legal executives dealing with environmental and OSHA issues. As active and visible members of the environmental law community, group members work with, and are adverse to, numerous lawyers, consultants and regulators who are also leaders in their fields.
