Environmental Litigation

Vermont’s environmental regulations are some of the strictest in the nation presenting significant hurdles to land use and property rights.  Knowing how to navigate these regulations requires competent legal counsel. 

How a Vermont Environmental Litigation Attorney Can Help

When legal issues arise, it is critical to have an experienced Vermont environmental litigation attorney by your side. Environmental litigation is a highly-complex area of the law involving municipal, state and federal regulations. Furthermore, the results of these cases can have long-term implications for the local area, and beyond.  

At Bergeron, Paradis & Fitzpatrick, LLP, our Vermont environmental attorneys represent clients in all matters of environmental law, including Act 250 compliance, regulatory and permitting issues, appeals, wastewater/potable water supply, stormwater discharge, air quality control, shoreland protection, contamination, hazardous materials, ancient roads, conservation easements, and wetlands. We resolve matters through litigation when necessary, and utilize arbitration and mediation when possible.
