Anderson Kill wrote the book on obtaining coverage dollars to protect the environment. "Going Green", however, means more than funding clean-ups. Today, Anderson Kill’s Environmental Law Group is uniquely positioned to do more than provide cutting edge coverage litigation services. We can assist clients in managing environmental risks, embracing environmental opportunities and successfully pursuing green initiatives and funding sources. Whether a client seeks to make its business more energy efficient or take advantage of Brownfield recovery laws in a soft real estate market, green projects can be both environmentally and fiscally prudent. Moreover, the recent Gulf oil spill, MTBE contamination and litigation over climate change underscore the need for sound environmental planning.

As local, state and federal agencies continue to provide fiscal and other incentives to protect the environment, businesses have opportunities for “going green” and “growing green.” Anderson Kill’s Real Estate and Construction Group and Land Use Practice can assist with all facets of energy-saving building construction or retrofits. Our attorneys include legal professionals who are also LEED accredited and have technical backgrounds, including a wealth of practical engineering experience. We also provide a wide range of traditional environmental legal services (i.e., transactional, remedial, regulatory, work-place safety and litigation). We can provide valuable relevant and up-to-date advice on emerging climate change, clean-energy and sustainability issues. Moreover, Anderson Kill’s Corporate Group can assist in making the most of government initiatives to encourage going green, including obtaining federal stimulus money and using captive insurance mechanisms to manage risk and achieve savings and tax efficiency.

Anderson Kill and its non-legal subsidiaries are in the forefront of providing an array of environmental-risk-management services. We have been assisting policyholders for 40 years and can provide in depth advice regarding directors and officers liability, design flaws, errors and omissions, and due diligence as well as risk associated with alternative fuels, reducing carbon foot prints, e-waste and emissions. Put the depth and breadth of our Green experience to work for you and your business.
