Hatch
& Parent’s Water Law Group has been at the forefront
of the water law field — a complex and uniquely challenging
area of the law — since the Firm was founded in 1968.
Our attorneys are widely recognized as pioneers in the field.
Our reputation for solving complex problems under the most
challenging conditions is founded on our successful representation
of clients in the midst of increasing demands on limited
water resources throughout the west.
Because
water issues rarely arise in isolation, our attorneys regularly
work with other practice groups within the firm — particularly
the Public Law, Environmental Quality and Legislative Advocacy
Groups — forging an unparalleled depth of experience for
the benefit of our clients. Collectively, Hatch & Parent
has the experience and capability to handle any water matter,
including water right acquisitions, sales, transfers and
state and federal regulation for both public and private-sector
clients.
The
attorneys in the Water Law Group contribute regularly to
numerous national and international journals, developing
the critical thinking of the day on water right and water
quality issues. We are frequently sought out to participate
on academic and legal panels devoted to exploring and resolving
the complex issues that arise in this field.
As
the Water Law Group has grown, so too have the number of public
and private agencies turning to us to guide them through the
intricacies of the laws that govern the use of water. These
agencies rely on us to preserve their rights, advance their
interests and shield them from potential liability. We are
proud of our ability to perform those services with excellence.
Hatch & Parent's representation of these agencies includes
the full range of water resource management matters, including:
daily operations and customer issues, coordination with sister
agencies, permitting and state and federal regulation, lobbying
and legislation, strategic planning, and negotiation and litigation
- all with the goal of protecting the quantity
and quality of an agency's supplies. |
