Douglas Eilender's practice emphasizes all aspects of environmental law, including transactional, regulatory, land use and litigation matters.  Mr. Eilender's practice also includes the oversight and negotiation of cost recovery and insurance coverage claims.

Part of Mr. Eilender's practice focuses on the redevelopment of "Brownfields" sites that are underutilized due to contamination.  Mr. Eilender has been successful in securing Brownfields approval, which allowed our client to recover millions of dollars of remedial costs.

Prior to joining Cole Schotz, Mr. Eilender was associated with Dames and Moore, Inc., a national environmental consulting and engineering firm as an environmental scientist. Previously, he was an environmental scientist at JM Sorge, Inc., an environmental consulting firm.  As an environmental consultant, Mr. Eilender conducted and managed environmental due diligence audits, which included Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, and asbestos, lead paint and water quality surveys.

Mr. Eilender was selected for inclusion in the 2010 edition of Super Lawyers® Rising Stars for Environmental Law. He has also been included in 201 Magazine's list of Top Lawyers in Bergen County for 2011.
