Regulatory Compliance Support 

Support for Legal, Regulatory & Administrative Matters

BBJ Group provides technical support to attorneys, corporate counsel, and stakeholders involved in environmental litigation, regulatory compliance, and administrative proceedings. Our experts can deliver:

• Expert analysis, technical reporting, and testimony to support case strategy
• Strategic guidance to inform settlement discussions and regulatory compliance approaches
• Technical evaluations aligned with industry and regulatory expectations, supporting findings that are credible, data-based, and understandable by courts, regulators, and stakeholders

By bridging the gap between environmental science and legal strategy, we help clients present clear, well-supported positions in complex matters.

Dispute Resolution & Mediation Support

Not all environmental disputes need to be resolved in court. BBJ Group works with plaintiffs, defendants, and stakeholders to support efficient and practical resolutions through mediation, arbitration, and voluntary settlement processes. Our services include:

• Evaluating claims using environmental data and technical analysis
• Identifying paths toward mutually acceptable solutions
• Supporting collaborative negotiations with technical expertise and insight

Our approach focuses on helping parties maintain control of the process, manage costs, and reach timely resolutions while ensuring decisions are grounded in sound technical analysis.

Cost Recovery

Recovering environmental costs following remediation, contamination, or regulatory action can be complex and highly technical. BBJ Group supports clients in:

• Identifying incurred costs that may be eligible for recovery
• Documenting and substantiating claims with technical and financial support
• Informing negotiation positions and litigation strategies through well-supported analyses

Our work helps position cost recovery claims to be credible and supported by appropriate technical and financial documentation.

Cost Allocation

Allocating environmental costs, particularly under CERCLA, requires a rigorous, technically grounded approach. In multi-party matters, determining responsibility for response costs is often a critical component. 

BBJ Group applies advanced analytical and probabilistic methods to:

• Perform CERCLA cost allocation analyses evaluating equitable distribution of response costs
• Support allocation of remediation costs among potentially responsible parties
• Evaluate proportional responsibility based on site conditions, contribution, and regulatory considerations
• Inform settlement discussions, litigation strategies, and related decision-making

Our analyses provide transparent, well-supported approaches to cost allocation that are designed to align with regulatory expectations and withstand technical and legal review.

Natural Resource Damages (NRD) Claims

BBJ Group provides technical and economic expertise to evaluate Natural Resource Damages (NRD) claims and assess alleged losses. Our services include:

• Assessing claimed resource injuries and evaluating potential impacts
• Evaluating loss-of-use claims for recreational, ecological, or economic services
• Reviewing and analyzing damage claims using scientific and financial methodologies

By grounding evaluations in sound science and established methodologies, we help clients better understand potential exposures and support informed decision-making.
