Working with Lee Decker of Gallagher & Kennedy, I truly appreciate the depth of insight and clarity he brings to complex environmental and regulatory matters. The ability to navigate the intersection of legal requirements, agency expectations, and practical implementation is incredibly valuable—especially in such a nuanced field. It’s always a pleasure working with someone who not only understands the law but also the real-world impacts of its application.

Chris Leason of Gallagher & Kennedy is an expert addressing and resolving complex RCRA regulatory compliance issues. He not only understands what the regulations say, but has a strong working knowledge of the regulatory intent, histories and EPA interpretations, which are often needed in order to achieve the correct result.

… Gallagher & Kennedy [does] outstanding work … and are what I consider to be the best environmental law firm in the Southwest. [They] offer a wide range of experts … from air and water quality to hazardous waste and Superfund program areas at both the state and federal level. Gallagher & Kennedy is in a class by themselves in their ability to advocate on behalf of their clients, having honed extensive, influential, and well regarded relationships with regulators, legislators, trade groups, and key government officials.
