Career
As a former US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) attorney, Mr. Brown utilizes his agency and practical experience to help his clients navigate environmental, energy, natural resource, sustainability, and climate-related concerns associated with US- and international-based facilities and operations.
Mr. Brown’s practice focuses on three core areas – navigating federal and state environmental laws, implementing sustainability and climate-related decarbonization strategies, and minimizing risks associated with international project development and operations. He is a former attorney with the EPA, in the Office of Regional Counsel in San Francisco (Region 9) and in New York (Region 2), and the Office of General Counsel in Washington, DC.
In the US, he assists clients with complying with federal and state environmental laws, including compliance counseling, obtaining regulatory authorizations, facility and corporate audits, project and transactional due diligence, citizen suits, administrative and civil enforcement defense, and litigation. Mr. Brown advises clients on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) risks and opportunities, and advises clients on emerging trends associated with environmental justice and human rights. For international matters, Mr. Brown works to ensure facility and corporate consistency with nation-based laws, international legal frameworks, and industry-specific environmental, health, safety, and social (EHSS) standards.
