Torys' Environmental, Health and Safety Practice Group is international in scope, with a particular focus on the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Our lawyers are regularly involved in significant corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, securities and debt financings; and in environmental litigation and dispute resolution, including environmental assessments, toxic torts, Superfund cases, and citizen-suit and criminal defense matters.
We assist our clients globally to maintain compliance by advising them of recent and anticipated legal developments. We also help clients obtain regulatory approvals, and have developed and assisted in the implementation of environmental management systems.
We serve clients in many commercial, financial and industrial sectors, including energy, waste management, recycling, banking, insurance, mining, forestry, manufacturing, petro-chemical, steel, food processing and technology. We work closely with our Real Estate Practice and environmental consultants to facilitate the investigation, remediation and development of contaminated sites, including the development of brownfield sites.
