Water/Natural Resources

Woods Aitken’s water and natural resources practice group focuses on the allocation, use, and protection of rights in and to natural resources. The Firm represents private clients and public entities on water supply and rights issues, and the complex state and federal frameworks that govern natural resource management.

Woods Aitken has extensive experience in interstate water conflicts, including matters involving interstate decrees and compacts, water rights, and federal reservoir operations. We handle a range of legal issues involving regulatory, litigation, legislative and transactional challenges and support clients through the entire lifecycle of a matter. 

Whether you need crisis counseling and strategic response scenarios, assistance with a water or environmental real estate transaction issue, or advice on project development and related public processes and challenges, our attorneys can assist.

Woods Aitken also advises on a broad range of natural resources and environmental matters, including land use, wetlands and stream alteration issues, and permitting requirements affecting development and infrastructure projects. We provide counsel on strategic planning, project development, and related public processes, benefiting from decades of experience in water law, natural resources regulation, and related litigation.
