Our Attorneys
Our environmental experience and expertise is built on twenty years of innovation and success in the three main areas of environmental law: litigation, permitting/compliance, and risk management. Our focus is on working with clients and, as appropriate, drawing on outside technical expertise, to solve and resolve to our clients’ benefit complex and often cutting-edge environmental issues and liabilities.
Temkin Wielga & Hardt LLP's experience in the environmental litigation arena is defined by extensive courtroom and trial experience, on the one hand, and extensive, practical experience with conflict resolution and settlement options and designs, on the other.
For example, the firm’s lawyers are currently representing one of two remaining defendants in the largest federal Superfund case ever to go to trial. The case, involving the Coeur d’Alene Basin in North Idaho, presents a number of key issues of first impression on both response cost and natural resource damage liability. The Phase I trial involved 76 days of trial proceedings. The Phase II trial will address cleanup liabilities, if any, and natural resource damage issues.
