Thanks for visiting the Stoel Rives’ California Environmental Law Blog.
As environmental lawyers practicing throughout the State of California, with offices in Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, and Truckee, we cover the spectrum of legal issues involving environmental and natural resources law. We created this blog in order to inform clients and readers about developing environmental stories that impact the California business community. Expect our posts to address not only what happened but also the “what now” from a business perspective.
If you have any questions about a post, we encourage you to leave us a comment or contact the post author(s) via email.
