What services do Taylor & Hammel LLC offer to businesses, law firms and other
organizations?
Taylor & Hammel LLC provides professional research services to law firms and
businesses throughout the United States in sophisticated and high stakes environmental,
commercial and civil litigation.
Our experience includes researching complex litigation matters involving toxic torts,
CERCLA, RCRA, site remediation, federal and state cost recovery, potentially
responsible parties (PRPs), the Clean Air and Water Acts and most other environmental
and natural resource litigation issues. Additionally, we are skilled business litigation
matters involving mergers and acquisitions (M&A), product liability, asbestos,
intellectual property and copyright. Finally, Taylor & Hammel LLC is involved with real
estate research, Native American treaty rights and international law affairs.
While litigation research is our specialty, Taylor & Hammel LLC regularly completes
photographic and moving image research for museum projects, documentaries and other
historical projects.
Can you give me a specific example of a litigation research service you provide?
One of the most common types of litigation research efforts we manage involves
CERCLA/Superfund litigation. The Comprehensive, Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted on December 11, 1980, provided
the authority for federal authorities to respond directly to releases or potential releases of
hazardous substances that may endanger the public health or environment. One of the
provisions of CERCLA assigns liability of persons responsible for releases of hazardous
waste at sites. Those liable could include:
· the current owner or operator of the site (CERCLA section 107(a)(1));
· the owner or operator of a site at the time that disposal of a hazardous substance,
pollutant or contaminant occurred (CERCLA section 107(a)(2);
· a person who arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance, pollutant or
contaminant at a site (CERCLA section 107(a)(3)); and
· a person who transported a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant to a
site; that transporter must have also selected that site for the disposal of the
hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants (CERCLA section 107(a)(4)).
As such, we are often hired by companies or law firms to find information on the
historical operations and activities of Superfund sites, research whether there were other
"potentially responsible parties" who owned or operated the site, and/or if any
surrounding industry may have contributed to the contamination. Oftentimes, if there
were other "potentially responsible parties," we are hired to uncover any and all viable
corporate successors. Finally, we are often involved with cost allocation discussions at
these sites where each "responsible party" is assigned a dollar figure for the clean-up.
Why should a law firm or business use Taylor & Hammel LLC's services? Aren't
paralegals capable of doing this kind of litigation and environmental research?
To put it simply, Taylor & Hammel LLC's professional research staff are more
experienced, cost effective and efficient than in-house resources.
Paralegals at law firms and businesses are trained in legal research, but not necessarily
historical and archival research. Finding relevant documents in the hundreds of
thousands of boxes at the National Archives, federal agencies, etc. is a different skill set
from finding documents and other materials through Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, other
electronic resources or in-house libraries. Taylor & Hammel LLC's professional
research staff has spent many years acquiring the ability and tools to locate
documentation within the federal government, the National Archives, records centers,
and the many other federal, state and local document repositories. This knowledge and
these tools make our services essential to any organization that needs specific federal,
state or local documents and information very quickly.
Ultimately, a "golden" document found or not found could be the difference between a
ten and fifty million dollar cost allocation.
How much do your services cost?
In the legal and professional research field, we are considered a bargain. At other
research organizations that have hefty overhead and administrative costs, you could be
potentially spending hundreds of dollars an hour on individuals who look good on paper,
but have never spent any significant time at the National Archives nor have the
appropriate experience in the records you need reviewed.
We know the records and can review them efficiently and accurately, which saves you
time and money. Upon receiving information on your project needs, we will provide a
customized cost estimate.
