With a nationwide presence, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP  has developed a wide environmental practice, including enforcement, investigations, natural resource permitting, development projects, contaminated sites, and contaminants. James Dragna and John McGahren lead the team from Los Angeles and Princeton respectively, with the former frequently instructed by clients from the energy, aerospace, and manufacturing on environmental crises and enforcement and the latter fielding considerable expertise on natural resource damage claims and Superfund matters. The West Coast practice includes Los Angeles-based Rick Rothman , who is sought out by energy, manufacturing, and consumer clients on air and water quality, hazardous substances, and climate change mandates, San Francisco’s Ella Foley Gannon who focuses her practice on natural resource permitting and land use entitlements, and Los Angeles-lawyer David Brown, an expert on air quality, water quality, hazardous substances, and climate change matters. Splitting her practice between Princeton and New York, Stephanie Feingold aids clients on contaminated sites and matters involving drinking water contamination.
