Dick Sedgley has practiced environmental law since 1987 and environmental engineering since 1970. Prior to joining AquaLaw in 2005, Dick was a partner in a national law firm.
Combining legal and technical skills, Dick advises clients on a broad range of legal matters including permitting, compliance, and business issues, with a focus on water and wastewater, solid and hazardous wastes, criminal and civil enforcement defense, and tailored programs to bring about and maintain compliance.
Dick’s focus is not on merely addressing the client’s immediate legal problem, but rather on applying skills in discrete regulatory areas with a larger view of the client’s interests and well-being. He views permitting, regulatory development, and other tasks as an opportunity to implement solutions for clients in the broadest sense, placing clients in a better position in terms of (1) a solid legal and factual foundation for the approach to a particular problem; (2) utilizing the full flexibility provided by federal and state regulatory programs; (3) allowing the best opportunity for continuing compliance; and (4) capturing the full economic value in facilities and activities.
