Environmental Litigation and Environmental Toxic Tort Defense

McLane Middleton has extensive experience in complex environmental contamination, toxic torts, and related regulatory litigation throughout New England, New York, and beyond.  Our trial team has litigated a number of these cases in jury trials in state and federal courts, as well as arbitration.  The trial team also routinely resolves cases through mediation and other negotiated settlements.

Environmental cases frequently involve leading edge claims and defenses involving alleged contamination of natural resources, toxic tort injury, product liability, and property damage claims in class actions, governmental suits, and private party claims. Many cases relate to contaminants of emerging concern, such as PFAS or microplastics; others involve MTBE, petroleum, VOC, and other forms of chemicals. Responding to the technical nature of these claims, our attorneys leverage an extensive network of experts to ensure optimal representation of our clients.

McLane Middleton is and has been regularly involved in major environmental litigation cases brought by the State and federal governments, and private parties, relating to contamination in New Hampshire and Northern New England.  The firm’s representation includes national and international companies, as well as leading local companies, all of whom seek the trial expertise and subject matter knowledge the firm has to offer.
