Experience
Partner, Environmental Department
Feb 2001 — Present · Indianapolis, IN, US
I am a partner in Barnes & Thornburg LLP’s Environmental Department and chair of the department\'s Brownfields and Environmental Transactional Diligence sub-group. My legal practice primarily concentrates on the following subjects: underground storage tank regulation, including Indiana’s Excess Liability Trust Fund; Brownfields projects; remediation projects dealing with soil, surface water and groundwater contamination under a wide variety of regulatory programs; assessing and managing the vapor intrusion pathway in real estate transactions and redevelopment activities; cost-recovery claims against owners and operators for contamination, including evaluating other mechanisms to fund investigatory and cleanup activities; environmental due diligence including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, Phase II subsurface investigations, and evaluating remedial cost estimates; and managing environmental liability in business transactions.My work includes business and compliance counseling, voluntary clean-ups, risk-based decision making under Indiana’s Risk-Integrated System of Closure and federal guidance documents, and litigation before state and federal courts and agencies.I frequently write and speak, having participated in a variety of private associations, client and continuing legal and business education seminars. I also participate in government work groups that develop policies on various technical aspects of risk-based clean-ups. I am counsel of record for the Midwestern States Environmental Consultants Association (MSECA). MSECA works closely with governmental regulators on technical matters related to the characterization, clean-up, and closure of contaminated properties.
