A Tradition of Excellence Delivering Modern Solutions
Anderson & Kreiger has long been recognized as a leader in environmental law. We were one of the first law firms in Massachusetts to focus on environmental law, and over the last three decades have become one of the largest and most experienced environmental legal teams in New England. No matter what the environmental problem or project stage, we have the knowledge and background to advise you efficiently, pragmatically, and effectively.
Due Diligence Click here to learn more.
We identify permitting hurdles, assess liability and other legal risks, and offer sophisticated analysis and practical solutions to facilitate corporate and real estate transactions. We help ensure that projects start off on the right foot.
Environmental Impact Review (MEPA and NEPA) Click here to learn more.
Complex projects, and even simpler ones, often trigger review under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Unless carefully coordinated with other permitting, these environmental reviews can cause long project delays. We focus on early planning with consultants, regulators, and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive strategy to sequence environmental reviews and other permitting efficiently.

We have long been a preeminent firm in pursuing insurance for environmental claims and liabilities, under both traditional general liability policies and newer environmental ones.

Our expertise in insurance law and policy language enables our clients to maximize their insurance recovery.

A&K has always been an environmental litigation firm. From the outset of a project, we anticipate appeals and take steps to avoid them and minimize litigation risk. When a dispute does arise, we litigate assertively, but always focused on the big picture. Whether that means trying the case through a decision and appeal, mediating the claims, or taking other steps to resolve the dispute, we develop and execute a strategy to achieve the client’s objectives and protect its interests.

From single-property contamination to the most complex situations, from harbors and airports to industrial facilities and landfills, we advise clients throughout the country on environmental cleanup and remediation. We work closely with Licensed Site Professionals and other consultants on all aspects of remediation: investigation, regulatory reporting, remedy development, access agreements, settlement negotiations and agreements, cost allocation, litigation, insurance recovery, and natural resources damages liability.
