We pursue litigation in state, federal, and administrative courts to ensure that public and private rights and environmental laws are upheld and enforced. We leverage our skills in working with experts, legal research and writing, motion practice, oral and trial advocacy, negotiation, and persuasive storytelling to achieve impactful results.

We provide legal and strategic support to local governments, conservation groups, and advocacy organizations working to accelerate the clean energy transition across Michigan and the Great Lakes region. Our work includes participating in regulatory proceedings before the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC), supporting communities seeking fair energy policies, and helping shape the future of grid infrastructure and renewable energy deployment.

From rural townships to regional coalitions, we partner with those who see clean energy as a pathway to economic stability, environmental justice, and climate resilience.

We support individuals, citizen groups, and local governments in protecting land, water, wildlife, and public health from harmful development and environmental degradation. Our work includes helping clients organize around local issues, respond to environmental threats, and shape policy through education, permitting challenges, and direct engagement with decision-makers.

Whether you're fighting to preserve wetlands, protect a beloved trail system, stop an industrial expansion, or hold polluters accountable, we bring legal tools and strategic insight to strengthen your advocacy. We’re here to help you navigate environmental statutes, local ordinances, and state-level processes - so your voice can have a lasting impact.

We represent landowners across Michigan considering leasing their property for solar, wind, or battery storage development. These projects can offer real opportunities - but they also come with long-term commitments, legal complexity, and power dynamics that can favor developers and utilities.

We support landowners from the earliest stages of project discussions in understanding the implications of proposed lease terms; negotiating fair compensation, flexibility, and land use protections; navigating site control, easements, and environmental considerations; evaluating long-term risks; and guiding you through the process generally to protect your rights and maximize the benefits of renewable energy development on your land for you and the planet.

We help clients navigate the complex process of developing or preserving land in an environmentally responsible manner, ensuring compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations. This includes providing guidance to help clients understand the regulatory framework, advocating for public and private rights in permitting processes, and representing clients in local decision-making settings, such as Planning Commission or Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) hearings.

We work with community groups to transform their vision into action by guiding them through the process of forming legal entities such as nonprofits. We will ensure your group has the structure and tools needed to advance its advocacy efforts, amplify its voice, and achieve lasting impact.
