Energy & Natural Resources

Our Energy & Environmental attorneys advise businesses in the energy industry on a range of issues, from real estate matters, construction projects, and environmental review and permitting to regulatory challenges and compliance, and everything in between. Our team has decades of experience successfully representing our clients before state legislatures, state regulatory agencies, and local units of government. In addition to representing clients in contested proceedings, our team works extensively with clients to gain all necessary regulatory approvals and to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance. Our team supports a wide variety of clients, including investor-owned utilities, independent power producers, wind energy developers and other renewable energy producers, and large industrial customers.

On the environmental side, our attorneys assist clients in all stages of the regulatory continuum, from permitting to agency proceedings. Our attorneys practice before federal and state environmental regulatory bodies, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Our lawyers also regularly advocate on behalf of our clients in environmental matters before state and federal courts, the Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings, and other regulatory settings.
