CERCLA & State Equivalent Programs

Davis Graham & Stubbs has extensive experience in all matters that arise from of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as Superfund. We have defended significant governmental cost-recovery actions, and successfully initiated private-party contribution actions. DGS attorneys routinely apply their expertise to evaluate potential exposure to CERCLA and other environmental liabilities for clients in mergers and acquisitions. We frequently work with clients in brownfield redevelopment and similar property transactions to ensure that all requirements are met. We also provide remedial oversight at CERCLA Superfund and state-led sites across the country. Our clients have relied on us to ensure that their environmental response actions are consistent with the requirements of the National Contingency Plan, to challenge the adequacy of other parties’ response actions, and to review and comment on governmental response actions. Our lawyers have brought and defended CERCLA natural resource damages actions since the mid-1980s.
