Environmental Law & Natural Resources

Best Best & Krieger has extensive experience in dealing with issues presented by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Our attorneys assist both private and public agency clients with the entire NEPA process, including the preparation and circulation of notices, NEPA document preparation, and other procedural requirements specific to the federal agency involved.

Our attorneys are skilled at reviewing and preparing exemptions, environmental assessments, and findings of no significant impact (FONSIs). We are also experts at writing and editing environmental impact statements to fully comply with NEPA's requirements. Moreover, we are highly experienced with NEPA litigation, and both prosecute and defend against NEPA challenges on a regular basis.

BB&K is also proficient at understanding the interplay between NEPA and other environmental statutes, including the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts, the California Environmental Quality Act, and the State and Federal Clean Water Acts.
