The Adams & Duncan law firm delivers sound legal advice and experienced representation to clients in both the public and private sector on environmental permitting and compliance requirements for projects ranging from repairing a dock, to constructing flood control dikes. We provide advice on water resource acquisition, water right transfers, and development. We have also successfully represented our clients in matters of wetland mitigation banking and permitting.
We work with commercial clients to assess legal liabilities arising from contaminated media in real property transactions and developments, and in handling associated negotiation with regulators and other potentially liable or interested parties. Where necessary, we are called upon to litigate to defend or pursue liabilities arising out of environmental contamination.
In real estate development or use projects, either in conjunction with other consultants or alone, depending on the scope of the project, we assist clients through the regulatory and permitting frameworks of many local jurisdictions. We assist clients with achieving or proving compliance with zoning and other land use controls and enforcement mechanisms. We have successfully challenged through the Land Use Petition Act (LUPA) erroneous decisions by hearing examiners and other government directors.
Other public interest groups and concerned citizens turn to our law firm to assist them in understanding, and/or in challenging projects, codes, ordinances, or laws that impact their property rights, constitutional rights, or otherwise are not compliant with the law.
Our lawyers stay attuned to the latest developments in natural resource development law, water law, and alternative energy law to assist their clients.
