I work in two areas that I enjoy immensely - energy and fiduciary litigation. I am co-chair of BrownWinick's Energy, Natural Resources and Environmental Law Practice Group where my energy practice involves a wide variety of clients, including utilities, private developers, commercial and industrial customers, and municipalities. I have been trusted by these clients to serve as their advocate in litigation and regulatory proceedings, and to manage and lead transactions involving renewable development and other energy matters. Some examples of the type of projects I have worked on include ratemaking, rulemaking, permitting, compliance, financing, power purchase agreements and renewable development. I frequently appear before the Iowa Utilities Commission and in related court proceedings where my clients trust me to help achieve their business goals in an arena that is ever-changing. My fiduciary litigation practice involves working with and representing trust officers, financial institutions and professionals, and individuals. I handle complex and contentious matters in a wide array of disputes centered on trusts, estates and guardianships and conservatorships. I advise clients on best practices to minimize risk and avoid litigation in carrying out their fiduciary responsibilities. When litigation is unavoidable, I serve as a zealous advocate to protect their interests.
