Environmental Law

Morris Laing’s environmental practice is built on more than 60 years of experience as one of the foremost oil and gas firms in Kansas.  We represent clients in a variety of areas, from federal and state compliance issues to complex civil litigation.  Our attorneys have experience in all phases of civil litigation in both federal and state court, including the United States Supreme Court, and have served with the Kansas Corporation Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency.  Morris Laing’s environmental practice combines attorneys in business, administrative regulation, alternative dispute resolution and litigation to assist clients in many aspects of environmental and natural resources law.

Morris Laing attorneys are well versed in a broad range of environmental issues, including oil and gas, surface and groundwater pollution, solid and hazardous waste disposal and regulation and nuisance and trespass liability.  Our environmental attorneys have advanced certificates in natural resources law and have published articles relating to the Clean Water Act, Solid Disposal Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, CERCLA and the endangered Species Act.

With the increasing prevalence of mold and other environmental problems in houses and other structures, Morris Laing's environmental attorneys have represented many clients whose property has been damaged or destroyed by mold or other pollutants.  Our attorneys understand the frustration and confusion home owners can experience in these situations, and have developed relationships with environmental inspectors and other specialists who can help restore the safety and comfort of your property.
