CurrentI represent automobile manufacturers, specialty vehicle manufacturers, large public power utilities, engine and equipment manufacturers, trade associations, and coalitions before Congress, federal, and state agencies. My practice focuses primarily on environmental law and regulation, energy policy, and technology development issues affecting these industry sectors. Since joining the firm in 1997, I have advised clients on various federal and state environmental and energy policy laws, with special emphasis on the Clean Air Act. With regard to the Clean Air Act, I regularly represent clients in the development of mobile and stationary air regulations and counsel them on related implementation and compliance matters. In addition, I advise clients on the implementation of National Ambient Air Quality Standards, including those standards regulating ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide, and provide strategic advice and counseling on project planning throughout this dynamic process. I assist clients with permitting both new facilities and modification projects both at the state and federal levels. I also counsel clients on compliance with federal and California vehicle emission standards and emission standards for a variety of off-road engines as well as issues related to enforcement of those standards.
