The firm has experience in negotiating agreements to allow landowners to contribute to the recovery of threatened and endangered species while also ensuring landowners can productively use their property for other uses (such as development, timber management, oil and gas operations, and agricultural and ranching activities). Specifically, the firm has negotiated Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances and Safe Harbor Agreements for threatened and endangered species. The firm’s attorneys have also been very active with Federal and state governments on legislation for the protection of endangered and threatened species.
