ELC by the Numbers
that ELC represented and partnered with pro bono since 2020
and species of south Florida, and the communities that depend on them
specifically focused on the protection of the south Florida environment
Since our inception in 1995, our legal team has stopped the expansion of nearly 20,000 acres of lime rock mines in the Everglades Agricultural Area, prevented the construction of a commercial airport that would have been located between two national parks, successfully opposed a harmful proposal to deepen and widen the Lake Worth Inlet that would have destroyed corals and critical seagrass beds for manatees and successfully challenged numerous developments that violated Florida’s growth laws.
Our lawyers are recognized leaders in their field.
ELC attorneys have experience in litigating cases in a variety of forums from federal and state court to administrative law proceedings. We also frequently appear before governmental decision-making bodies from state water management districts to county commissions.
