Environmental & Natural Resources

    •  
Environmental law is distinct for the complexity of its regulation and the urgency of its implementation.

Overview

Leadership
Our approach is creative and multidisciplinary and tailored to our clients' needs. We know the problems you face are not simple, and the solutions you need are not always easy to spot. With an environmental practice established by trusted industry leaders and developed over decades, we are the enthusiastic advocates and experienced field leaders our clients expect of their representation.

Understanding the Science of Environmental Issues
Our attorneys work efficiently with clients and effectively with regulators. We are a team of past engineers, environmental consultants, and government officials – we have an “insider” understanding of every side and can speak the language of all parties. We know the process, get the science, and are as enthusiastic about our clients’ aims as they are.

Depth of Experience
There are essentially no industries left untouched by environmental issues, and we have a diverse client base to show for it.

Charting the Future
Our clients rely on us to navigate the highly regulated environmental sector, but also look to us for advice on how to help lead the change. We want to help you chart your future and lead the change. (View DWT's climate and sustainability commitment.)
