Environment, Natural Resources and Utilities
Several members of Wyatt's Environmental team began careers with environmental agencies and helped fashion laws and policies that protect human health and the natural environment. They continue to influence developments in this area today. Collectively, this team has experience with every area of environmental law.
Having respected reputations with environmental regulators, this team effectively communicates client perspectives to appropriate government decision makers and often resolves matters by settlement. Partnering with the superior litigation team in this Firm, some of whom are members of the environmental team and focus almost entirely on environmental disputes, we are extremely effective in administrative hearings and judicial proceedings when that is required to obtain results or to defeat unmerited claims.
The team also practices across the spectrum of the mineral and energy industries. We provide legal services relating to the resolution of all types of disputes before state and federal courts; regulatory agencies, including the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission; and arbitration tribunals. Our lawyers also work extensively with clients on transactional matters relating to mineral or energy businesses or properties, such as stock and asset mergers and sales, and the financing of such transactions.
