Bryce Downey & Lenkov LLC provides legal representation on environmental matters of all sorts, including proceedings before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois Pollution Control Board, Office of the Illinois Attorney General and in the state and federal courts.  We also provide litigation support in the form of exhibit preparation and expert witness testimony.

Almost any active business can be bound by environmental regulation; and many are not always aware of the numerous environmental laws impacting business every day.  Bryce Downey & Lenkov attorneys understand the regulatory arena, the pace at which it changes, the penalties possible for non-compliance, and the opportunities available to negotiate compromise.  We're familiar with the positions taken by those on both sides of complex environmental debates, and we possess the resources and techniques essential for establishing the conditions that will guide all parties to well-reasoned solutions.

Our professionals provide assistance to clients with a wide variety of environmental issues including permitting, toxic air pollution, oil spills, hazardous waste, land use, and waste water discharge violations.  Examples of the types of clients the firm represents include municipalities, universities, hospitals, manufacturers, developers, dry cleaners and other organizations of all sizes.

Bill Seith heads the practice group and has over 20 years of experience in the area of environmental law.
