Brown & Winters Environmental Law

About Us

Brown & Winters is an environmental and environmental insurance law firm representing public entities, including ports, cities, counties, and school districts throughout California. The firm’s senior attorneys pioneered many of the solutions for the public entities in the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites under the oversight of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). For their clients, the firm’s partners have addressed legacy contaminated harbor sediment, soil and groundwater, landfills, stormwater discharges, and dry cleaners for over 30 years. Brown & Winters’ approaches integrate the funding of environmental remediation projects with historical insurance obtained by the firm’s insurance archaeological efforts and expertise.

Brown & Winters is a recognized leader in Brownfields Redevelopment and the recipient of several awards for its contribution to the revitalization of blighted communities. It also participated in and contributed to drafting related environmental legislation.

The firm provides grants and speakers to high school environmental clubs in San Diego. California youths are at the forefront in addressing new environmental cutting-edge issues. We believe that an investment in our youth’s understanding of environmental sustainability is our investment in the future.
