Nationally Renowned Environmental Law and Compliance Advocates

Environmental regulations are highly technical, complex, and constantly evolving. PSRB boasts one of the largest and most comprehensive environmental law practices in the Midwest. Our attorneys advise clients on regulatory compliance, permitting, environmental audits, and brownfield redevelopment projects.

We represent agribusinesses, manufacturing plants, utilities, and waste services, providing practical solutions that balance regulatory compliance with commercial viability.

Maximizing Recoveries with Indiana's Premier Insurance Coverage Practice

An insurance policy is a crucial asset, yet insurance companies often deny, delay, or minimize legitimate claims when policyholders need them most. PSRB's insurance coverage practice is the largest in Indiana, national in scope, and represents policyholders exclusively. We have successfully handled many of Indiana's most important insurance coverage decisions, shaping the legal landscape in favor of policyholders. Our attorneys represent clients in major auto disputes, property losses, liability claims, cyber liability, and bad-faith claims against insurance carriers. Whether through arbitration, trial, or appellate advocacy, we help our clients maximize their insurance recovery and manage commercial risks effectively.

PSRB provides reliable counsel on business formation, corporate governance, commercial contracts, employment policies, and succession planning.
