Hunton & Williams Recognized as a Law360 Environmental Group of the Year

Hunton & Williams LLP is pleased to announce that the firm has been named a Law360 Environmental Group of the Year for the 8th consecutive year. This distinction recognizes that the environmental team continues to be at the center of the most significant national environmental policy debates, regulatory developments and litigation. In a profile describing the environmental practice, Law360 cited Hunton & Williams’ work litigating the Clean Power Plan, pushing for a more reasonable interpretation of the Clean Water Act, and successfully petitioning the US Environmental Protection Agency to revisit some of its rules.

“Our experience in this area is as broad and deep and longstanding as any firm in the country,” says Eric Murdock, head of Hunton & Williams’ administrative law group. “We know the administrative process inside and out; we have the foremost experts on all the sometimes arcane legal issues that arise in those cases. We also know the industries, we know the issues. We’ve been doing this for a long time in terms of subject matter as well as process. We really know what we are doing.”

Lawyers in the firm’s internationally recognized environmental practice focus on all areas of environmental law, such as  air, water, and waste regulatory programs, site remediation, and natural resources and species protection. The group represents clients from a wide range of industries on matters spanning the full spectrum of legal services, including legislative and policy development and advocacy, legal challenges to regulatory programs, compliance counseling and enforcement defense, and permitting and other support for major transactions and large scale development projects.. Hunton & Williams was named 2017 Environment Law Firm of the Year by Chambers USA, which also ranks many of its lawyers No. 1 both nationally and globally. The group is also top ranked by The Legal 500.
