Rogers Towers' attorneys provide regulatory advice and counseling on the full spectrum of environmental issues: air, water, hazardous waste, pesticides, toxic substances, and contaminated soil and groundwater. Our attorneys also negotiate agreements with government agencies and local communities for addressing contamination at legacy sites while minimizing impacts on current business activities.
Our regulatory and compliance attorneys routinely assist clients with remediation projects under a variety of federal and state programs including: Superfund (CERLCA), RCRA Corrective Action, voluntary cleanups under Florida state programs, and Brownfields redevelopment.
We design audit programs, train auditors, conduct internal investigations and facility inspections, write audit reports and action plans, and advise clients on the applicability of attorney-client privilege, audit privilege, and business confidentiality to self-evaluative documents. In performing due diligence, we identify and value the risks associated with existing environmental liabilities, and project the costs of future environmental, health and safety regulatory compliance, employment issues, and potential litigation. In addition, we evaluate the environmental, financial, health and safety issues in mergers and acquisitions, as well as real estate transactions. These risk management strategies can minimize impacts on the client's reputation and bottom line.
We support in-house counsel and corporate ethics officers in the development of environmental, health and safety policies and procedures, implementation of management systems (like ISO 9000 and 14000), training executives, employees and contractors, and performing and overseeing facility audits.
