Terri A. Czajka

Partner

Terri Czajka is a partner in Ice Miller's Real Estate, Environmental & Energy Law (REEL) Group. The majority of her current practice focuses on federal and state regulatory issues, permitting, administrative enforcement, and real estate transactions.

Terri is a 1983 graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School. Her practice centers on representing businesses and municipalities in environmental and natural resources permitting, Brownfields and voluntary remediation programs, creating solutions when property and operations being transferred in real estate and business transactions are contaminated, providing advice on regulatory compliance, and defense of administrative enforcement actions. Although the majority of Terri's current practice focuses on regulatory/administrative issues and transactions, she has and, to a lesser extent, continues to litigate and has colleagues in the practice group who concentrate on litigation and, when appropriate, join with her to form efficient teams to represent our clients.

In addition to her environmental/natural resources practice, Terri is often called upon to use her general administrative agency experience to assist in representing Ice Miller clients in other venues, such as before the Indiana Department of Administration and, related to hazardous material transportation issues, before the United States Department of Transportation, Customs Bureau and the Federal Aviation Administration.
