The Legal 500 Again Names B&D a Top Tier Environmental Law Firm for 2019
The Legal 500 again ranked Beveridge & Diamond as a top tier firm in the environmental regulatory law category, and as a leading firm in the environmental litigation category, in its 2019 United States edition.
Clients noted that "you won't find a finer law firm," highlighting that B&D "does the best high-end regulatory work out there." The editorial references our ongoing role in the Volkswagen "Dieselgate" corporate monitorship, our role as court-appointed monitor in the Duke Energy coal ash cleanup, and our involvement in the remediation of the Portland Harbor Superfund Site. The Legal 500 describes the firm's litigation practice as "terrific all [a]round," noting B&D's recent successful representation of the State of North Dakota regarding authorization to develop a water treatment plant, five defense wins in putative nuisance class action lawsuits on behalf of Waste Connections, and victory on behalf of the National Mining Association.
The Legal 500 also recognized the "highly respected" John Cruden (Principal, Washington, DC) as an elite "leading lawyer" for both environmental litigation and regulatory law as well as recommended 16 additional B&D attorneys, including:
