# environmental legislation — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel, 'environmental legislation' isn’t about *knowing* every law – it’s about rapidly applying the relevant ones to specific business problems. Daily work often involves reviewing contracts (leases, supply agreements, project finance) for environmental liabilities or compliance clauses; advising on permitting requirements for new projects or operational changes; and responding to regulatory inquiries or notices of violation. You'll be interpreting complex statutes like Clean Air/Water Acts, CERCLA/RCRA in the US, or EU directives transposed into national law, but *always* tied to a practical outcome – can we proceed with this deal? What’s our exposure if we don’t?
