Mr. Gregg is a Principal in the Austin, Texas office of Beveridge & Diamond, P.C. and Co-Chair of the Firm's Oil and Gas section. His legal career has been devoted to the practice of environmental law. Over the course of his 15-year career, he has worked with most of the significant federal and Texas environmental programs. Most recently, his practice has focused on environmental issues involving contaminated properties, including the management of state and federal CERCLA matters, RCRA compliance counseling, transactions involving contaminated properties, counseling on state and federal regulatory cleanup programs, and state and federal natural resource damage claims. Mr. Gregg has also counseled clients on all manner of air, water and waste management regulatory issues (permitting, enforcement, and general compliance matters). He has represented national and international clients within the chemical, petroleum refining, and natural gas production, processing and transportation industries, among others, as well as various local and regional manufacturing interests. 

Mr. Gregg began his career at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), where he provided program development and legal/litigation support for various air, water quality, and industrial and hazardous waste programs. From the TCEQ, he moved into private practice, focusing on environmental regulatory counseling and environmental litigation, until his move in-house to an international energy company in 2001. Mr. Gregg managed that company’s nationwide MTBE MDL groundwater contamination and products liability lawsuits and provided legal defense on CERCLA cost-recovery and contribution matters across the country. He also managed the legal issues associated with the company’s remediation portfolio, coordinated the company’s environmental due diligence activities, and structured, drafted and negotiated the environmental components of the company’s acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions.
