D.C. Bar Magazine Highlights MGC’s Successes in ESA Impact Litigation

The Washington Lawyer recently published an article exploring impact litigation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The article highlights various recent cases litigated by Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal, including the Beech Ridge lawsuit challenging the unlawful take of endangered bats by an industrial wind power facility, a successful challenge of BP's and the Coast Guard's burning of sea turtles after the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and our participation in the pending multi-district litigation over the listing of the polar bear under the ESA.
