Hogan Lovells US LLP

Global Regulatory

Partner

The practice of environmental law today requires the deep appreciation that Adam Kushner has for the differing perspectives of stakeholders who have a voice on the many high-profile and complex environmental issues.

Widely recognized nationally as having keen insight and deep knowledge of the authority of the government to enforce federal environmental law, Adam is called upon to help navigate difficult and potentially high-profile environmental enforcement, compliance, and governance issues. Adam has more than 35 years of knowledge and experiences, both in and out of government, and brings that to bear as co-leader of the firm's global Environment and Natural Resources practice Area.

Adam was a federal prosecutor at the Justice Department and the national director of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s  air and civil enforcement programs. During the course of his public service, and continuing at Hogan Lovells, Adam has litigated, negotiated, and resolved many matters arising under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Superfund statute, and the Toxic Substances Control Act. Adam works regularly with refinerers, petrochemical manufacturers, power companies, oil and gas producers, and other industrial concerns.

Importantly, Adam is a thought leader on issues of big picture environmental enforcement policy as well as the details of the many programs underlying those policy choices, which he brings to bear in his work with clients.
