K&L Gates’s environment, land, and natural resources practice is geared to support state and federal regulation of air, water, wetlands, mining, oil and gas, and waste management. As a ‘key resource’ for clients, Harrisburg’s Craig Wilson is a key point of contact for clients on permitting and land approvals for the development and operation of energy projects. The deep bench also fields Brian Montag, of the Newark office, who aids chemical, manufacturing, and construction clients on Superfund sites, hazardous waste, and product liability, and Seattle’s Ankhur Tohan, who focuses his practice on renewable energy development and carbon management compliance. Other key names include Raleigh-based Stanford Baird, who represents manufacturing clients on contaminated properties and development permitting, and Tad Macfarlan, who aids on air emissions, wastewater, and hazardous waste management regulatory regimes from the Harrisburg office.
