Overview
Environmental liability consulting addresses disputes involving contaminated properties, regulatory compliance failures, and the allocation of cleanup costs under federal and state environmental laws. MDT Expert Consulting provides access to environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, and former EPA and state agency officials who evaluate site contamination, remediation standards, and the legal and technical basis for environmental liability claims in CERCLA cost recovery, property damage, and environmental indemnification disputes.
Pre-Litigation Support
Before litigation, environmental liability experts help counsel assess the nature and extent of contamination, identify potentially responsible parties, and evaluate the reasonableness of proposed remediation costs. They review Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments, regulatory correspondence, and site investigation data to develop an early picture of liability and exposure.
Litigation Support
In litigation, environmental liability experts assist in evaluating site investigation methodology, challenging or supporting remediation cost claims, and allocating liability among multiple parties based on contribution to contamination.
Arbitration Support
Environmental liability experts in arbitration address disputes involving environmental indemnification obligations, insurance coverage for cleanup costs, and contractual allocation of remediation responsibility.
