No matter what size your business is, you may be faced with claims regarding pollution from your manufacturing processes or exposure to substances in your products. HSB can help you protect yourself from environmental claims. And we will fight for a fair outcome with your best interests in mind if a claim is filed against you.

Every business is subject to regulation by state and federal laws designed to protect the environment. Environmental law helps companies and individuals operate within these laws to avoid criminal and civil penalties, liability for health claims and cleanup costs, and general public image problems.

HSB’s Environmental/Toxic Tort Litigation practice group handles claims related to air and water pollution and exposure to chemical substances such as pesticides, lead, cleaning solutions, asbestos and industrial chemicals. We have taken the lead in using technologies such as digital document storage and imaging to improve the efficiency of mass tort defense. HSB has been very involved in the recent wave of mold exposure claims and our environmental law specialists have successfully challenged the validity of many such claims.
