Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Significant regulatory and environment expertise in aquaculture, especially in California.’
‘The Regulatory practice in the Washington state office offers experience, necessary relationships and superb work while also balancing necessary work with budget. For many relationships relevant in the State, not every firm offers the necessary, long-standing relationships and knowledge of subject matter. ’
‘K&L Gates is a reliable resource for our HSE group, providing support primarily for regulatory and environmental compliance functions, but also contributing when other legal questions arise. Their insight is highly regarded. ’
‘Craig Wilson is our primary contact. He has extensive experience with our site and has a wealth of knowledge of site history in addition to his current regulatory insight. ’
