I routinely advise public and private clients on complex environmental disputes involving administrative law, public policy, and litigation ranging from large superfund cases to climate change and air quality matters. I am adept at deeply understanding not only the law, but the factual, technical and economic issues. This approach enables me to effectively advocate for and secure strong and durable outcomes for my clients. I work to develop collaborative solutions where possible by finding common ground but without compromising the goals and objectives of my client.
