Richmond-based practice head Andrea Wortzel works closely with clients on water quality, water quantity, and endangered species issues. James Beers takes point on compliance and permitting issues for manufacturing industries from the Washington DC office, which is also home to Emily Huggins Jones, who adds knowledge at the intersection of maritime and environmental matters to the team, and Josh Kaplowitz, who lends his experience in offshore wind and renewable energy to clients on clean energy infrastructure projects. San Francisco’s Shawn Zovod adds a wealth of knowledge to the practice across the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Historic Preservation Act, among other areas, whereas Houston-based Benjamin Cowan is noted for his work related to the Endangered Species Act.
