Our primary areas of legal practice include environmental, administrative, utilities, and municipal law, with a specific emphasis on water-related matters.

Decades of experience in water law.
Our expertise in water law is founded on our attorneys’ extensive work on groundwater and surface water planning and management, water supply and water quality projects, water resource development and transactions, and groundwater, surface water, wastewater, and reclaimed water permitting, enforcement, and contested matters. Based on such comprehensive knowledge, our attorneys routinely speak on important water law issues across the state and nation, and author articles for publication.
