Focused on critical issues of our time: how we interact with the environment
More than 20 years ago, Howard Davis opened the doors of what was to become Davis Environmental Law. The firm has grown from a solo practice to a thriving boutique law firm. By specializing in this increasingly complex field, we have earned the respect of our clients and our peers for resilience, adaptability and integrity.
In the fast moving arena of environmental law, we have the experience and expertise that enables our clients to survive and thrive when dealing with complicated matters of compliance and science as well as vexing day-to-day issues.
Environmental law today has an impact on almost every facet of our lives and our business activities.
Davis Environmental Law focuses on the regulation and the effects of regulation with a positive perspective that encourages our clients to take advantage of opportunities and sustainable strategies that promote social responsibility and corporate governance. As standards for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) become more prevalent in our society, we are available to help counsel and assess opportunities to meet the new criteria and add value to our clients’ business and interests.
