More About Courtney
As businesses look toward reuse of potentially contaminated properties—particularly in urban, industrial, and other highly developed areas—Courtney delivers effective guidance that helps clients navigate local, state, and federal compliance processes. She has assisted with the legal matters of numerous environmental projects, such as enforcement and remediation actions, claims for natural resource damages, and business and real estate transactions involving contaminated sites and other environmental constraints.

Among other matters, she has worked on large-scale energy projects, including power generation and transmission facilities, for major power producers and users across the Pacific Northwest.
Courtney works closely and collaboratively with clients, consultants, and regulators to negotiate and implement value-added, practical solutions to real world challenges.
