David P. Rosenblatt

David’s practice includes litigation, negotiation, and permitting, as well as resolving hazardous waste, solid waste, air, and water issues. He is skilled in working with regulatory authorities to get clients through environmental permitting processes and advising on compliance within a wide range of complex environmental laws and regulations. He frequently appears before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, representing clients in enforcement proceedings. He is particularly experienced in litigating and negotiating on behalf of businesses and large defense groups in complex multiparty EPA Superfund cases and has served as common and lead counsel to defense groups for Superfund sites located throughout New England. Additionally, he conducts due diligence in real estate and corporate transactions involving environmental compliance and negotiates agreements regarding the environmental liabilities.

Over the years, David has worked on essentially every type of environmental matter, affording him a good sense of what’s realistic for his clients and allowing him to resolve issues efficiently and effectively. “It’s one thing to know the law,” he says. “It’s another to be able to use and craft the law in a way that maximizes the chances for the clients to fulfill their overall business objectives as well.”

Additionally, David is dedicated to helping attorneys with mental health issues. In 2018, he served on the Supreme Judicial Court’s Steering Committee on Lawyer Well-Being, which reported to the court several ideas for improving the mental health of Massachusetts lawyers. David currently serves on the board and as treasurer of Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, a mental health organization that connects lawyers and law firms with mental health resources and programming.
