Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that Michelle DeVoe has rejoined the firm as a shareholder in its Denver office, further strengthening its nationally recognized Natural Resources and Energy practices. She previously worked at Brownstein from 2003 to 2013.
DeVoe brings a multifaceted environmental and natural resources practice combining transactional, litigation, manufacturing and industrial, energy and oil and gas regulatory compliance to advise clients on environmentally sensitive transactions.
“We’re delighted to have Michelle back at Brownstein. She is a trusted advisor with a rare blend of enforcement, compliance and transactional experience,” said Brad Herrema, chair of Brownstein’s Natural Resources Department. “Her ability to navigate high-stakes environmental matters while keeping clients focused on business objectives makes her an outstanding addition to our team and a valuable resource for our clients.”
DeVoe supports real estate and development transactions involving contaminated properties. She has significant experience guiding clients through voluntary cleanup programs and long-term remediation projects for historically contaminated sites, including former manufactured gas plants, mining facilities and military installations. For compliance matters, DeVoe regularly counsels energy companies, developers, ski and resort companies, municipalities, manufacturers and water providers on environmental liability, permitting and risk management issues. Her experience includes advising on oil and gas rulemakings and enforcement matters, defending mining and milling operations under state reclamation laws, and managing toxic tort and state enforcement actions. In the courtroom, she represents clients in high-stakes Clean Water Act, CERCLA, Endangered Species Act and NEPA matters with regional and national impact. She also has experience in complex oil and gas, mining and environmental compliance proceedings before state and federal agencies.
DeVoe earned her J.D. from Emory University School of Law and her B.B.A. from the University of Kentucky.
