Our attorneys have been counsel to a variety of public agencies, including municipal utilities, across the United States, represented public interest organizations in high-profile environmental litigation, served as government counsel at the highest levels of federal, state and local government, and represented a wide range of clients on cutting-edge compliance issues.
We have a national reputation for advising clients on some of the largest and most sophisticated public infrastructure projects, including water supply projects, major urban developments, energy facilities, transit systems, airports, highways, and transit-oriented development. Core to our Firm’s work is our environmental, energy, and natural resources practice, which assists clients with environmental cleanup, permitting, enforcement, and defense in matters under a wide array of state and federal environmental, energy, and conservation laws.
Our tribal practice, whose lawyers joined the firm in 2020, complements our work for local governments in their dealings with federal government regulators and funders. Our lawyers’ understanding of intergovernmental relations allows us to bring particular expertise and sensitivity to the needs of sovereign Indian nations.
