AquaLaw PLC (Richmond, VA) is a nationally-recognized environmental and water-related utility practice dedicated to serving localities and authorities of all sizes and stages of development. We provide regulatory and transactional services as well as closely-related litigation services often involving the development, operation, and management of public water, wastewater, and stormwater systems, and other large scale infrastructure and economic development projects. We offer expertise ranging from regulatory strategy development, permitting, compliance, and enforcement defense, to flooding, contamination, cleanup, and environmental liability, to interjurisdictional agreements, utility rates and charges, and other business matters, among other areas. We have an excellent track record of facilitating successful projects and solving complex problems for clients engaged with federal authorities (e.g., EPA, Army Corps, FWS, FERC, DOJ), state-level decision makers (e.g., GA, DEQ, VDH, VMRC, DWR, DHR, SCC), and other stakeholders.

As lawyers, lobbyists, and agency liaisons for the Virginia Municipal Drinking Water Association (VMDWA), the Virginia Association of Municipal Wastewater Agencies (VAMWA), the Virginia Municipal Stormwater Association (VAMSA), we have gained a deep understanding of state water, environmental, and utility law, and have contributed extensively to its development over the years. This experience benefits our clients in the form of practical advice and cost-effective service. We are also good team players and open to collaborating with other lawyers and consultants in various arrangements to best meet client needs.

We are proud of our affiliation with LGA and the difference that we have made in counties, cities, and towns across the Commonwealth since 2002 by working with LGA members. We thank you for this privilege and look forward to serving you and your clients in the future.
