Brian Moskal

I am a Partner in Greenberg Glusker’s Environmental Group. I represent clients in environmental litigation, transactional, and counseling matters with a focus on contaminated sites and water and wastewater issues. I also have experience with insurance recovery in the environmental context. I provide litigation, transactional, and counseling support to industrial companies, property owners, and municipalities regarding deals involving contaminated properties and litigation and regulatory matters under the Clean Water Act (CWA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and related California laws. I have worked on investigation and enforcement matters before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Regional Water Quality Control Boards. I am also experienced in state and federal litigation at all stages, including case assessment, filing of the complaint, discovery, motion practice, trial, and appeal. I was a member of a team that won a full defense judgment for a municipal water and wastewater agency in a water rights contract lawsuit by the federal government in which the government alleged more than $300 million in damages. I worked on all stages of the matter from discovery through trial and appeal. Recently, I represented an agricultural chemical manufacturer and distributor in a multiparty coordinated proceeding in California state court involving groundwater contamination claims by more than a dozen municipal water agency plaintiffs.
