Overview
Environmental, Natural Resources and Energy Attorney
Justin is an associate on the Environmental and Natural Resources Practice Team. He focuses his practice on energy regulatory matters, representing renewable energy project developers, independent power producers, manufacturers and other industrial business interests as well as public entities in negotiations with Michigan’s utilities and in cases before the Michigan Public Service Commission. He also advises clients on environmental compliance and permitting matters and on zoning and land use matters.
As a complement to his work in the energy and environmental areas, Justin leverages his experience advising clients in connection with significant business transactions (including mergers & acquisitions and other corporate reorganizations) and with corporate governance and securities law matters (including private placements of securities and registered offerings) to provide holistic legal advice driven by an understanding that his clients’ immediate legal needs often represent only a small part of their overall business strategy.
