Bingham’s Environmental and Natural Resources Group is recognized as one of the premier practices in the nation. With more than 50 lawyers focusing on environmental and natural resources law, we have the breadth and depth of experience to meet almost any environmental challenge. Unlike many firms, an overwhelming majority of the lawyers in our group dedicate 100 percent of their time to the practice of environmental and natural resources law. Indeed, in 2009 Bingham was again ranked as one of the top two environmental law firms in California by Chambers USA.
Bingham’s environmental and natural resources lawyers are often at the cutting edge of environmental and natural resource legal issues. But that does not mean that we leave our common sense at the door to the office. We have established a reputation for developing practical approaches to our clients’ legal problems, and we actively work with our clients to develop creative, real-world solutions that fit their business needs within the appropriate legal context. We also take great pride in our ability to solve problems and disputes in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Where conflict cannot be avoided, we have a track record of achieving favorable results using a full range of alternative dispute resolution techniques as well as litigation. We are one of the few national environmental and natural resources practice groups with a stable of dedicated litigators as well as lawyers who provide environmental compliance and transactional counseling.
Our environmental and natural resources lawyers have the benefit of outstanding support services. We have one of the premier environmental law libraries in the nation. Our library contains a unique collection of legislative, regulatory, legal and technical materials and guidance documents. In addition, our lawyers share information using an electronic “Knowledge Bank,” a collection of lawyer work product, including briefs, research memos, contracts, forms, model letters and many other documents reflecting prior research and analysis. With this resource, we rarely have to start from scratch and we avoid reinventing the wheel on a new case.
