Mold, asbestos and other potentially hazardous materials can create significant issues for construction projects. Axley’s team of environmental attorneys has broad experience in environmental management. Our Wisconsin attorneys include engineers and former environmental prosecutors. Axley’s environmental management attorneys deal with environmental matters when preparing construction contracts and in construction-related disputes. We regularly assist clients to understand, anticipate and comply with regulatory requirements. Our environmental lawyers routinely work with environmental and civil engineers, scientists, regulators and environmental advocates, and colleagues in the environmental consulting and legal communities frequently refer clients to us.
