Legal
GZA understands how to provide our clients with high quality defensible technical strategies. Our objective is to deliver efficient and cost-effective support to our clients in their efforts to settle or resolve scientific or engineering claims.
Over one-third of GZA principals have provided expert witness services in geotechnical, environmental contamination, or ecological litigation matters.
The attorneys we work with appreciate our multi-disciplinary skills coupled with our ability to persuasively communicate and teach complex technical topics to stakeholders and lay audiences.
We work collaboratively as a member of your strategic team to provide a combination of technical expertise and pragmatic problem-solving experience in developing strategies to help clients achieve their business, dispute, and compliance objectives. We strive to translate and visualize complex technical and regulatory subjects into understandable concepts for the non-technical clients, fact finders, and other stakeholders.
We get your market.
GZA provides our clients’ in-house or external legal teams with technical support to address compliance, business, and transactional needs concerning federal, state, and local projects.
GZA’s legal practice draws on company expertise to assist clients with issues surrounding land use and entitlement, emerging contaminants, due diligence in the real estate development process, climate change vulnerability analysis, and other regulatory or legal concerns. GZA’s broad base of scientific expertise and project history allows us to issue guidance, assemble reports, and conduct any required audits and other due diligence activities.
