Environmental Attorneys

As an adjunct to our litigation practice, the attorneys at Sanders • Pianowski, LLP have represented clients in environmental disputes that run the spectrum of the law, including civil cases and enforcement actions initiated by private parties and businesses, the EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Insurance coverage issues often arise in environmental litigation, and attorneys in the firm have been very active in that field, filing and defending declaratory judgment actions on behalf of both business clients and insurance carriers in coverage disputes arising from environmental claims. Such cases frequently involve numerous parties and complex issues made more challenging by passage of time and multiple policies which may ostensibly provide overlapping or disparate layers of coverage.

The firm has acted as local counsel in several cases involving multi-state insurance coverage disputes affecting dozens of parties and carriers. The experience gained in these and other litigation matters have placed the firm in a unique position of proven accomplishment and has enhanced our ability to handle all aspects of environmental disputes and litigation. At Sanders • Pianowski, LLP, the emphasis is on finding creative solutions to legal problems, and that philosophy extends to environmental issues as well. Our reputation lies in our ability to bring parties together to resolve disputes without unnecessary legal intervention. This is achieved through a proactive approach to our clients’ needs by seeking to protect them from potential exposure by thoughtful strategic planning. However, when litigation is unavoidable, our clients appreciate the firm’s reputation for vigorous and tenacious advocacy.
