Water and sewer utilities are unique businesses with highly complex and evolving challenges that are best managed with industry-specific expertise. The legal elements of providing water or sewer service often impact virtually every aspect of the business, from regulatory compliance to financing and operating large-scale infrastructure projects to customer and supplier relationships. Recognizing that rural utilities are underserved by today’s legal market, we pooled our collective wisdom gathered from decades representing rural districts and other political subdivisions to create a platform dedicated to solving the legal challenges facing similar clients nationwide. Importantly, we value the role local attorneys play in daily operations and are ready to serve as a force multiplier when legal issues become more complex or specialized. For districts without current counsel, our capabilities can be extended to fulfill the role of general counsel. But perhaps most importantly, we understand the economics of providing safe water and sanitary sewer service, and tailor our services to meet our clients’ budgets. It is our proven ability to create value for our clients’ systems that sets us apart.
Our services span all aspects of the law, including regulatory, transactional and litigation matters. For utilities without an ongoing relationship with a law firm, we also offer general counsel services that cover daily operations, employment issues and governance.
Our team is comprised solely of professionals who have a dedicated focus on rural utility laws. We have a long history representing special districts, small towns, counties and other political subdivisions who require environmental expertise.
Importantly, we understand that many clients attempt to defray costs by avoiding lawyers altogether, sometimes leading to other expenses or challenges that could have been avoided. We understand that cost is often a driving force, and tailor our services to our clients' needs.
