His substantively and geographically diverse environmental practice, extending almost 30 years and in many states and federal districts, has encompassed the defense of numerous enforcement proceedings and ongoing advice to clients as to their rights and obligations relating to compliance and permitting issues and business transactions.

Mr. Diamond's strategic approach to each matter is always calculated with the client's business goals in mind.  He has led and managed many client/counsel teams to successful resolutions of multifaceted problems, often in the face of potential exposures in the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars under, e.g.,  the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, CERCLA and state equivalents.

He also is leading the firm's growing Cuba Initiative to assist companies to participate in that emerging market under exemptions to the U.S. trade embargo.    

Mr. Diamond served in the Region II Office of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for eight years. He completed his tenure at USEPA as the chief of the New York/Caribbean Superfund Branch.     
Mr. Diamond is a former chair of the Environmental Law Section of the New Jersey Bar Association and is a member of the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy and Resources, the New Jersey State and New York State bar associations and the New York County Lawyers Association.
