The environmental team at Norton Rose Fulbright acts for industrial, utilities, retail and public agencies in matters concerning government enforcement actions, defense of administrative, civil and criminal proceedings. It is also particularly strong in Superfund site matters, handling toxic tort mandates across the US. Edward Lewis steers the group from Houston, handling incident response and governmental enforcement actions alleging environmental violations. In the Los Angeles office, Elizabeth M Weaver and Jeffrey Margulies are recommended, the former dealing with Superfund, toxic tort, water related issues and matters falling under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, while the latter is known for defending land and air contamination cases as well as those associated with hazardous waste.
