Featuring a team of widely recognized state and federal environmental lawyers, Akerman has extensive experience in evaluating and managing contaminated property portfolios, obtaining Brownfields designation for contaminated properties, and maximizing the liability protection benefits for a range of property types, including those sites formerly utilized for landfilling, industrial manufacturing, golf courses, and gas and electricity generation.
