Environmental Disputes

Eileen Burns Lerum has handled environmental legal issues for manufacturers and mining companies since the 1980’s. During her career with several multinational corporations she gained a wealth of experience in Superfund matters including cost recovery actions, multi-party cases, and contribution actions. She also has significant experience in pursuing insurance coverage for environmental claims. We know from experience that investigating complex historical corporate transactions can result in a successful defense that our client is not responsible for an environmental liability, even though the Environmental Protection Agency named it as a potentially responsible party. We are available to represent your company in responding to Superfund, toxic tort and other environmental claims.

When your business needs help assessing an environmental claim, call 312-782-1087 or email us to schedule a consultation.
