ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, AND RESOURCES PRACTICE GROUP UPDATE

Miriam E. Villani, a Partner with the Firm and responsible for the Firm’s Environment, Energy, and Resources Practice Group, is advising several industrial clients in connection with citations issued by the United States Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) for employee exposure, employee training, and other workplace health and safety issues. In this growing area of the Group’s practice, Ms. Villani helps to bring the client employer into compliance and negotiates a settlement with the regulator.

Ms. Villani continues to work on several New York State brownfield matters where she provides guidance to prospective purchasers with regard to environmental risk and liability so that an informed decision is made concerning the purchase of the contaminated property for redevelopment. Once the transaction is completed, she assists the purchaser with an application to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) and negotiates the terms of the Brownfield Cleanup Agreement. The BCP includes tax benefits as an incentive for the cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated properties.
