The International Who's Who
of Environment Lawyers 2004
After
six months of research, and interviews with clients and environment
experts around the world, Who's Who Legal is delighted
to publish The International
Who's Who of Environment Lawyers.
The
research reveals that Latham &
Watkins LLP has
the greatest number of environment experts of any firm featured in
the publication. Six of the firm's lawyers have been deemed
exceptional enough for inclusion and they are based on both coasts
of the USA, in District of Columbia and California.
Whilst
Latham & Watkins LLP can boast the greatest number of leading
practitioners, Baker &
McKenzie can
lay claim to having the greatest geographical spread with five
lawyers listed in five separate countries. Anthony Hobley in England, Andrew J L Aglionby in Hong Kong, Mario Deketelaere in Belgium, Federico Ruanova Guinea in Mexico and Martijn Wilder in Australia.
Freshfields
Bruckhaus Deringer also
fared particularly well in the research with five lawyers listed in
two jurisdictions, England and Germany. Holland &
Hart LLP also
boasts five practitioners in the publication, which are based across
three states, Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, giving it the greatest
national spread of any US law firm alongside Stoel Rives
LLP,
who can point to four experts in the publication in Oregon, Idaho
and Washington state.
One
respondent commented that Theodore
L Garrett of Covington &
Burling is
"as good as it gets" in the field of environment law. This is borne
out by the research, which identifies him not only as the most
highly nominated lawyer in the USA but also globally. Garrett is
closely followed in the votes by John
Quarles of Morgan Lewis
& Bockius LLP ("one
of the premier environment lawyers in the states") and Angus
Macbeth of Sidley Austin
Brown & Wood LLP,
both of whom, like Garrett, are based in DC.
USA
The
District of Columbia
Home
to the three most highly nominated practitioners in the publication,
the District of Columbia is the best represented of all American
states with 24 nominees. With three lawyers apiece, Arnold and
Porter LLP, Hunton & Williams and Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP
can lay claim to being the best represented firms. Morgan Lewis can
draw not only on the expertise of the highly nominated Quarles but
also on that of the well regarded Michael W
Steinberg and William H Lewis Jr.
Those lawyers nominated for inclusion from Arnold and Porter are the
"leading" Thomas
H Milch, Blake
A Biles, and Joel M Gross. Those lawyers nominated on numerous
occasions from Hunton & Williams are the "excellent" Andrea Bear Field, the "top" Turner T Smith Jr, and the "very good" Henry V Nickel. Also consistently recommended
are the "prominent" Ridgeway M Hall Jr of
Crowell and Moring LLP, "top tier" Kevin
A Gaynor of Vinson & Elkins LLP, the "very good" Lynn
L Bergeson of Bergeson & Campbell PC, Richard
G Stoll of Foley & Largner LLP and David
T Buente Jr of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP.
California
Edward L Strohbehn Jr
of Bingham McCutchen LLP, "one of the founding fathers of
environment law", is the most highly nominated lawyer in the state
of California alongside Gene A Lucero of
Latham & Watkins LLP. Michael R Barr
of Pillsbury Winthrop LLP, "a giant in the field", also comes highly
nominated, as does James
A Bruen of Farella Braun & Martell LLP. Of the firms, Latham
& Watkins leads the pack with four of the 15 lawyers listed in
the state practicing out of its San Diego and Los Angeles offices.
Its closest rivals in terms of the number of lawyers listed are
Bingham McCutchen and Morrison & Foerster LLP, both of whom can
field two highly nominated experts, with Michle
B Corash of Morrison & Foerster particularly well
recommended
Colorado, with 15 lawyers
nominated for inclusion in the book, can boast the second largest
contingent of Who's Who
lawyers alongside California. Elizabeth H
Temkin of Temkin Wielga & Hardt LLP and James R Spaanstra of Faegre & Benson LLP
are the two most highly nominated lawyers in the state, and were
both described by respondents as "top tier". No one firm stands out
from the pack in terms of numbers but Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP,
Faegre & Benson LLP, Holland & Hart LLP and Sherman &
Howard LLC each have two lawyers apiece in the state. Also highly
recommended are J
Kemper Will of Burns Figa & Will PC, John D Fognani of Fognani Guibord &
Homsy LLP, John Leonard Watson of Moye
Giles LLP, Carolyn L McIntosh of Patton
Boggs LLP and Paul D Phillips of Holland & Hart LLP.
Three lawyers in the state are no strangers to the Who's Who Legal series: the
"well known" Gary E
Parish of Sander Scheid Ingebretsen Miller &
Parish PC, the "top tier" Robert T Connery of Holland & Hart
LLP and John D Fognani also appear in the second
edition of The International
Who's Who of Mining Lawyers.
Utah
Also featured in The International Who's Who of
Mining Lawyers is William B Prince of Dorsey & Whitney
LLP and he is joined in the environment publication by the highly
nominated David
W Tundermann of Parsons Behle & Latimer and Lucy B Jenkins of Jones Waldo. Of the four
lawyers listed in the state, however, James
Arnold Holtkamp of Holland & Hart LLP garnered the
greatest support for inclusion.
Wyoming
Holland & Hart is the only firm to have a
presence in the Wyoming section of the publication with both Michael
J Brennan and Edward W Harris
coming highly recommended for their expertise.
Illinois, Michigan, Missouri
Illinois sees four lawyers listed in the
publication. Thomas M McMahon of Sidley
Austin Brown & Wood LLP leads the way based on nominations and
is closely followed in the research by Sheldon A
Zabel of Schiff Hardin & Waite. Also highly recommended
are Susan M Franzetti of Franzetti Law
Firm PC and Louis M Rundio Jr of
McDermott Will & Emery. In Michigan, respondents commented on
the strong practice of Eugene E Smary of
Warner Norcross & Judd LLP, whilst Joseph M
Polito of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP and Jeffrey K Haynes of Beier Howlett PC were also
highly nominated. In Missouri, the research is dominated by Stinson
Morrison Hecker LLP which has two of the three lawyers nominated in
the state, the "excellent" David R
Tripp and Parthenia B Evans. Also
highly recommended was the "excellent" James T
Price of Spencer Fane Britt & Browne LLP.
Massachusetts
Of the nine lawyers nominated for inclusion,
three practice at Foley Hoag LLP: the "very good" Laurie Burt, Seth D
Jaffe and Robert S Sanoff. Both
Susan M Cooke PC and Jeffrey C Bates of McDermott Will & Emery
were consistently recommended for their expertise, while Christopher P Davis of Goodwin Procter LLP was
the most highly nominated lawyer in the state with one respondent to
the survey commenting that he was "one of the best".
New Jersey & Connecticut
Ten lawyers in New Jersey received sufficient
nominations for inclusion. The most highly nominated of these being
Michael L Rodburg of Lowenstein Sandler
PC and William H Hyatt Jr of Kirkpatrick
& Lockhart LLP, both of whom were described by respondents as
first rate. Also highly nominated were William
L Warren of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, Edward
F McTiernan of Gibbons Del Deo Dolan Griffinger & Vecchione.
In nearby Connecticut, James A Thompson
Jr of LeBoeuf Lamb Greene & MacRae LLP is the most highly
nominated lawyer, one peer remarking that he was "one of the
absolute top environment lawyers".
New York
Sive Paget & Riesel PC leads the field in New
York with three lawyers nominated for inclusion, including Daniel
Riesel, the most heavily nominated lawyer in the state and "one
of the founders of environment law". Accompanying him from Sive
Paget are the highly nominated Mark
A Chertok and David
Paget, "one of the original environment lawyers". Michael
B Gerrard of Arnold & Porter LLP was the second most highly
nominated lawyer in the state and was described to our researchers
as "outstanding" in the environment field. Kirkpatrick &
Lockhart LLP has gained a significant presence in the market due to
the hire of the "very experienced" Donald W
Stever from Dewey Ballantine LLP in April. This gives the
firm a good national spread, given that it also fields Who's Who nominated lawyers
in both New Jersey with William H Hyatt
Jr, and Pennsylvania with R Timothy
Weston.
Pennsylvania
Accompanying the aforementioned Weston in
Pennsylvania are 10 other highly recommended practitioners. Kenneth
J Warren of Wolf Block Schorr & Solis-Cohen LLP is the
best-regarded environment lawyer in the state and is accompanied in
the publication by his highly nominated partner Steven
T Miano. Manko Gold Katcher & Fox LLP also fared well in the
research and two lawyers from the firm appear: Marc E Gold, and the second most highly
nominated lawyer in the state Joseph M
Manko, whom researchers were told was "one of the deans" of
the environment bar. Two Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP partners
were also recognised for their expertise: the "first rate" Bonnie A Barnett and the "very skilled" David
J Brooman. Also highly nominated are Benjamin
G Stonelake Jr, David G Mandelbaum,
Hershel J Richman and John F Stoviak.
Georgia & Florida
Lee A DeHihns III of
Alston & Bird LLP fared particularly well in the research and
based on our findings heads the field in Georgia. He is accompanied
by his partner James S Stokes and Richard A Horder of Kilpatrick Stockton LLP. John
M Barkett of Shook Hardy & Bacon LLP is similarly highly
regarded in Florida and is the only lawyer nominated for inclusion
in the state.
Texas
According to one respondent, Carol E Dinkins of Vinson & Elkins LLP is
the "dean of the Texan environment Bar", and she received the most
nominations of any lawyer in the state. The "superb" Molly Cagle and the "particularly good" Christopher B Amandes also represent Vinson
& Elkins in the publication. With three lawyers in the
publication, therefore, Vinson & Elkins is the best-represented
firm in the state alongside Baker Botts LLP which has Pamela M Giblin, Bradley I
Raffle and Sara Marquis Burgin
listed. Also prominent in the Texan market for environmental work is
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, with both Diana
C Dutton and Paul
Seals consistently recommended. R Kinnan
Golemon of Brown McCarroll LLP is also highly regarded by his
peers and is joined in the publication by R
Keith Hopson of the same firm.
CANADA
Fourteen practitioners have been selected for
inclusion in Canada which, in terms of the number of nominations
received, are led by the "very good" Paul
R Cassidy of Blake Cassels & Graydon LLP and Leonard J Griffiths of Torys LLP - a "leading
lawyer in Canada". Cassidy is based in British Columbia where he is
joined in the publication by Gary A
Letcher of Edwards Kenny & Bray. Brian K O'Ferrall QC of
McLennan Ross LLP is the sole lawyer to be listed in Alberta, as is
John D Stefaniuk of Thompson Dorfman
Sweatman in Manitoba. QuŽbec's most
highly nominated practitioner is Pierre
B Meunier of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP. Also highly
regarded in the province are Michel
Yergeau of Lavery de Billy and Jean
Piette of Ogilvy Renault. Ontario is the best represented of
the provinces, with half of the Canadian lawyers in the publication
based there. Leonard J Griffiths and James
W Harbell of Stikeman Elliott LLP were highly recommended, as
were David Estrin of Gowling Lafleur
Henderson LLP, and Gray E Taylor of
Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP.
CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA
Argentina has three lawyers recognised by our
research as experts in environment law. Gabriel
R Macchiavello of Allende & Brea was consistently
recommended and LATIN LAWYER 250, sister publication to Who's Who Legal, describes
his practice as "strong" in this field. Also highly recommended is
Guillermo Malm Green of Brons &
Salas, recognised by LATIN LAWYER 250 to be establishing a practice
in this area. Ignacio H Randle is also
well regarded in this jurisdiction. Demarest e Almeida Advogados, at
present Latin America's largest law firm, can boast the only nominee
in Brazil, Luiz Fernando Henry Sant'Anna. In Colombia, Luis Fernando Macias Gomez, ex-general counsel
of the Ministry of Environment, is highly regarded, as is JosŽ
Vicente Zapata-Lugo of Holguin Neira y Pombo y Mendoza Abogados.
Burguete, Celis y Asociados SC leads the market in Mexico as both Humberto
Celis Aguilar Alvarez and Leopoldo
Burguete Stanek appear. Luis
R Vera Morales of Vera Carvajal & Sosa SC is, however, the
most highly nominated lawyer in Mexico.
AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
In Australia, Freehills is the top firm based on
the number of lawyers included, with both John
Taberner and Mark Dwyer receiving
numerous nominations during the research. The top nominee in the
jurisdiction is Glen McLeod of Minter
Ellison, followed closely by Andrew
Beatty of Malleson Stephen Jaques. In New Zealand the most
highly nominated lawyers are Derek Nolan
and Paul F Majurey of Russell McVeagh,
thus making their firm the best represented alongside Simpson
Grierson who have the well regarded David Kirkpatrick and Rob Fisher listed. Also recommended is Ian Cowper of Cowper Campbell.
AFRICA
Nigeria is represented in the publication by two
prominent lawyers, Oluwatoyin
Ajoke Bashorun of Church-Fields Solicitors and Soji Awogbade of Victor & Charles
Solicitors. In South Africa Robyn
Stein of Edward Nathan & Friedland is the only practitioner
to receive sufficient nominations for inclusion and her practice was
consistently recommended to our researchers.
ENGLAND
The second largest jurisdiction in the book after
the USA is dominated by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer which has
three lawyers nominated. The highly regarded Paul Watchman and Malcolm
Forster join Paul Bowden, the most highly
nominated English-based lawyer in the book. Kathy Mylrea of Simmons & Simmons joins
Bowden at the top of the research and is accompanied in the
publication by Mike Nash of the same
firm. Allen & Overy also fares particularly well with Owen Lomas recognised for his expertise,
although the firm recently lost the well regarded Ross Fairley to
Burges Salmon. Also highly regarded by both clients and peers are
Edward Keeble of Slaughter and May,
Jacqui O'Keeffe of Denton Wilde Sapte, Helen
Loose of Ashurst, Paul Sheridan of
CMS Cameron McKenna, and Andrew Bryce of
Andrew Bryce & Co. Bryce is also
notable for the fact that he is the only English lawyer listed who
practices outside of London.
SCOTLAND & IRELAND
The Scottish section of the publication sees two
lawyers listed; top nominee Charles Smith
of Brodies was described by one respondent as "number one". Kenneth C Ross of Bishops in Glasgow was also
included. In Ireland Arthur Cox dominate the list with both Yvonne Scannell and Deborah
Spence recommended on numerous occasions. Alison Fanagan of A&L Goodbody was,
however, the most highly regarded lawyer in the jurisdiction based
on the number of nominations she received.
SPAIN
Four lawyers in Spain have been nominated for
inclusion. Hector Rodr’guez Molnar of Membrillera & Rodr’guez
Molnar, Bufetes Asociados received the most votes from clients and
peers, followed closely by the "very good" Carlos de Miguel of Ur’a & MenŽndez.
FRANCE
In France the best-represented firm is Huglo
Lepage & AssociŽs. Founding partner Christian Huglo is the most highly nominated
lawyer in the jurisdiction and his partner Corinne Lepage, French Minister for the
Environment from 1995 to 1997, is also extremely highly regarded.
The second most highly nominated individuals in France are Jean-Pierre Boivin of Boivin & AssociŽs and
Jean-Nicolas ClŽment of UGGC & AssociŽs, both described by
respondents as "top tier". Also well respected are the "very
prominent" Vincent
Sol of Winston & Strawn LLP, Laurent
Deruy of Gide Loyrette Nouel, and Patricia
Savin of Savin Martinet AssociŽs.
BENELUX
Belgium has six lawyers listed in the
publication, with Gabrielle
H Williamson of Heuking KŸhn LŸer Wojtek receiving the
greatest number of nominations. Three lawyers in the Netherlands
received sufficient nominations for inclusion, with Folkert Waardenburg of De Brauw Blackstone
Westbroek the most highly regarded of all three.
GERMANY
Dr Gabrielle
H Williamson is also listed in Germany where nine other
highly respected practitioners join her. Freshfields Bruckhaus
Deringer leads the way with Dr Ludger
Giesberts and Dr Wolf Friedrich
Spieth appearing. Dr Birgit Spie§hofer of Hengeler Mueller is
the most highly nominated individual in the jurisdiction and is
closely followed by the "highly reputed" Klaus

Widmaier. Claus-Peter
Martens of Clifford Chance also fared particularly well.
AUSTRIA & SWITZERLAND
Three lawyers appear in Austria, with Karl-Christian Onz of Onz Onz Kraemmer Huttler
Rechtsanwalte GmbH receiving the most votes. Also nominated on
numerous occasions were Christian
Schmelz of Schšnherr, and Heinrich
Vana of Dr Christine Kolbitsch ua (GbR). In neighbouring
Switzerland the top firm is RechtsanwŠlte Ettler Brunner Suter
BŠchtold with the "top" Peter Ettler and
Ursula Brunner appearing. However, Hans Ulrich Liniger of Ecosens AG is the
leading individual in the jurisdiction in terms of nominations
received.
THE NORDIC COUNTRIES
In Sweden, Wistrand AdvokatbyrΠand Alrutz
AdvokatbyrΠlead the way with two nominees apiece. Per Molander of Mannheimer Swartling
AdvokatbyrΠis very well regarded in the market and garnered the
most votes in the jurisdiction. Also highly nominated are MŒrten
Bengtsson of Advokatfirman berg & Co AB, and Magnus Fršberg of
Linklaters. Norway and Finland have one lawyer each in the
publication, Dag Erlend Henriksen of
Arntzen de Besche and Kaj
Swanljung of Roschier Holmberg Attorneys Ltd
respectively. Denmark has two lawyers deemed exceptional enough for
inclusion, HŒkun Djurhuus of Lind & Cadovius, and Birgitte Refn Wenzel of Mazanti-Andersen Kors¿
Jensen & Partners; both of them are highly regarded by clients
and peers for their expertise in the area.
The research concludes that some 287 lawyers
in 30 countries deserve to be considered leaders in the field.
