Seneca Economics and Environment, LLC (“Seneca”) offers corporations and municipalities involved in environmental civil penalty disputes a broad range of services that can help them to understand better the complexities of the situations they face and to prepare an appropriate defense, one consistent with the facts and grounded in sound analytical principles.

Robert H. Fuhrman, the Principal and CEO of Seneca, has over 30 years of experience performing economic benefit, ability to pay, and related types of analyses utilized in environmental enforcement cases.
