SPR
concentrates in five primary areas:
Environmental Law, Development and Land Use, Municipal Law, General Litigation, and Employment Litigation.
In each area, our goal is to deliver innovative and cost-effective professional services. The strength of our experience combined with a collaborative approach ensures that our lawyers work closely with clients, partnering to deliver successful solutions to complex, time-sensitive issues.
More than four decades ago, our lawyers led the administrative and judicial proceedings in the landmark Storm King Mountain litigation. Since those early days of environmental law Sive, Paget & Riesel has remained at the forefront of the field. This long and extensive practice has allowed our lawyers to develop wide-ranging expertise and experience in virtually all areas of environmental law. That is why three of our partners, David Paget, Dan Riesel and Mark Chertok, were singled out by Who’s Who Legal and Chambers & Partners USA as leaders in their field.
Our environmental law practice includes solid and hazardous waste, hazardous substances, toxic torts, energy-related siting and permitting, industrial permitting, underground storage tanks and oil spills, air quality, water quality and wetlands and environmental justice. Our lawyers litigate in federal and state courts under CERCLA (the "Superfund" law), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act. more…
