Barg Coffin Lewis & Trapp, LLP

We believe that being masters of one area of the law is the best way to serve our clients.

Some question why we don’t provide a full array of legal services to our (very) satisfied clients. It’s simple: we have chosen not to be “all things to all clients,” because today's environmental challenges require expertise that can only be obtained by focusing on environmental law.

Based in San Francisco, our team is nationally recognized for environmental counseling and litigation. Our clients span a wide range of industry sectors: technology, aerospace and defense, oil and gas production, transportation, chemicals, food and wine, utilities, and real estate development. Environmental law affects the full spectrum of businesses and government entities across California and the rest of the country; our clients and work reflect that diversity.

Our strategies begin with our clients' business goals and end with practical, actionable solutions to achieve those goals. We litigate complex cases in every area of federal and state environmental law. Trials, arbitrations, mediations, and complex negotiations where law and the environment intersect—this is our domain.
