At Anderson & Kreiger, we know the ins and outs of CERCLA and Chapter 21E. We have represented all types of clients - on all sides - regarding hazardous material contamination matters, from multi-party Superfund cases to home heating oil spills. Our expertise includes:
Cost recovery, contribution and property damage claims. For more than 25 years, we have both defended private companies and municipalities in Superfund cases and obtained multi-million dollar judgments and settlements from responsible parties. We have been equally zealous in defending dozens of clients from hazardous waste claims and hammering out settlements on both sides in pre-suit negotiations. We advise clients on effective responses under the MCP in collaboration with their LSPs, and guide buyers and sellers through sales transactions on contaminated properties. And when expert witness testimony is needed, we help ensure that this testimony is effective and clear.
Insurance issues. We have obtained insurance coverage for cleanups and damages in contamination cases through both litigation and negotiation, recovering tens of millions of dollars in insurance proceeds. We have likewise successfully obtained insurance defenses for industrial and commercial property owners and banks in complex, multi-party cases.
Sales transactions. We have advised many clients regarding the purchase and sale of contaminated properties, and drafted and negotiated the transactional documents.
