Chambers USA comments:

What the the team is known for: Preeminent team of highly regarded practitioners with extensive experience appearing before energy and environmental agencies at both state and federal levels. Held in high esteem for its deep knowledge of redevelopment, regulatory compliance, cleanup and permitting matters. Offers strength in connection with areas such as air and water quality and shoreland protection.

One client reports “When I compare them to Boston lawyers, their rates are better and they are just as knowledgeable and just as well received by the EPA. I view them as the top choice.”

Key Attorneys:

Robert Lucic chairs the firm’s litigation group and handles environmental litigation, arbitration and administrative proceedings as part of a broader commercial dispute resolution practice. Sources say: “Bob is just top-notch. He is not just great in terms of knowledge, but also when we need a fighter. He can also negotiate when necessary. He is a strategic lawyer.”

Robert Cheney concentrates his practice on regulatory compliance and enforcement matters in the energy and environmental spaces. Clients note that he is “very, very good technically.”
