The Environmental Practice is active in complex environmental litigation and involved in some of the nation’s leading cases. We represent large manufacturing companies and power utilities in recovering multimillion-dollar cleanup costs. The practice has strength in cost recovery, enforcement issues, toxic torts, and citizens’ suits. We also routinely manage project development involving wetlands, obtaining and challenging permits, and property development and redevelopment, including brownfields.

Barrie Park
When the Park District of Oak Park turned to Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP environmental lawyers for help in obtaining cleanup of a public park, their most challenging problem was how to protect their limited budget from environmental costs and liabilities. Several years later, after the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Cooper Industries v. Aviall Services, Inc., 543 U.S. ___, 125 S.Ct. 577 (Dec. 13, 2004), pre-cleanup planning for environmental cost recovery became the most important "new" issue in environmental law.
