27 environmental attorneys practise in Baton Rouge — an unusual depth for a city of this size, and a direct consequence of the industrial corridor along the Mississippi and the presence of state government here.
Most of the work runs through the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality: air and water permits, permit modifications, compliance orders and enforcement, alongside contamination and remediation questions in property transactions. Federal matters go to the Middle District of Louisiana.
If a notice of violation or an inspection report has arrived, get advice before responding. If you are buying or leasing industrial or formerly industrial property, ask about due diligence and about how liability for pre-existing contamination is allocated in the contract.
