Devoted Guidance From Resourceful Lawyers

Regulatory Defense Attorneys in San Diego

Protecting Businesses From Regulatory Overreach

Federal and California regulations are extremely strict about the environmental effects on many industries. Industries like automakers and waste disposal often have an incredibly difficult time with regulatory oversight. Companies facing significant regulatory issues must turn to attorneys with experience to help them resolve their problems.

At Tropea McMillan, LLP, we have experience in environmental law that can help guide clients through a host of regulatory problems. We work hard to keep our clients compliant with the law, but sometimes that’s not always possible. We advocate for businesses from San Diego and across California in regulatory litigation matters.

How To Defend Against Regulatory Allegations?

The issue of a regulatory defense is that there isn’t any specific strategy that can apply to all problems. Each matter is unique; each issue is, without question, highly difficult. That’s why our attorneys offer direct lines of communication and personal service so that we can respond to your legal matters directly.

We routinely handle a complaint from such agencies as:

  • The Environmental Protection Agency
  • The California Air Resources Board
  • The Department of Toxic Substance Control

They can heavily fine and sanction companies they find violating their regulations. However, you have ample opportunity to defend yourself against sanctions and fines levied by these regulatory agencies. You and your company have rights, and we will protect them.

Complex Litigation Requires Dedicated Service

Regulatory defense is one of the most complicated areas of the law, and we have experience representing clients in such matters. We are heavily involved in defending companies implicated in the BKK Corporation Landfill remediation.

This complicated matter will include many lawsuits from Los Angeles County. The companies involved may face a wide range of liability and fines based on Superfund and CERCLA. We are actively defending our clients from liability and penalties in this matter, formulating a unique strategy for each client.

Thorough. Determined. Successful.

When you know or suspect that you will face regulatory action, we are here to help. We have experience and insight into many environmental law areas and a track record of success.

Frequently Asked Questions About California Environmental Defense

My business received a Proposition 65 notice. What should I do?

Act quickly. Proposition 65 notices trigger a statutory clock, and how you respond early can significantly affect your options. Contact us as soon as possible so we can assess the claim and advise on the best path forward.

Can a current property owner be held liable for contamination they didn't cause?

In many cases, yes. CERCLA and related state laws can impose cleanup liability on current owners even without fault. Defenses are available, including innocent landowner protections. But they require careful legal work.

How long do we have to respond to an agency enforcement notice?

Deadlines vary by agency and notice type, and some response windows are very short. Contact us promptly after receiving any agency correspondence to make sure your rights are protected.
