<em>A discussion between Thompson Hine partners&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/fay-terrence" target="_self" rel="noopener">Terry Fay</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thompsonhine.com/professionals/eagle-joel" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joel Eagle</a>.&nbsp;</em>In this episode, Terry Fay, a partner in our Environmental practice group, shares his insights regarding the criminalization of environmental law and, in particular, responding to the execution of a criminal search warrant. With experience garnered over a legal career entering its fifth decade, Terry describes the factors that might lead the government to criminally prosecute individuals and corporations for environmental violations, the process by which the government obtains a criminal search warrant, and what to expect when government agents, some of them armed, appear at your manufacturing plant with a search warrant. Terry and environmental partner Joel Eagle discuss what a company should and should not do while the government is conducting its search and provide suggested best practices for preparing for (the unexpected) search warrant and post-execution responses.
