Skilled in Resolving Natural Resource Disputes
Our attorneys help clients resolve natural resource issues that arise during project planning, development, and implementation. We provide strategic counseling to identify and minimize impacts associated with developments and work with clients to move projects through the permitting process in a timely and effective manner. We work through the Endangered Species Act consultation process and counsel clients on habitat conservation plans. We also participate in listing proceedings for new threatened and endangered species to avoid unintended applications of species protection laws.
We Handle Complex Endangered Species, Wetlands and Other Natural Resources Issues
We advise clients regarding endangered species, wetlands, water, and other natural resources issues and help them comply with federal and state laws and regulations. We have a successful track record litigating high-profile cases in federal courts involving natural resource damage claims under CERCLA.
