I engaged Chris Rich at Perkins Coie to assist my company with a challenging compliance matter related to a recent wetland delineation on a property we were developing in the Willamette Valley. From our initial consultation, it was clear that his 15 years of focused environmental law experience in Oregon would be invaluable. He expertly navigated the complex interplay of state and federal regulations, and his strategic advice during negotiations with the Department of Environmental Quality was instrumental in reaching a workable solution without halting our project. His recognition in environmental law and litigation is well-deserved, as his depth of knowledge is exceptional. The one area where I noticed a slight delay was in receiving draft documents; at times, the turnaround was a bit slower than anticipated, which I attribute to his likely high caseload. Overall, Chris provided a comprehensive, strategic approach that protected our interests and allowed the development to proceed. I would confidently recommend him for any significant environmental or land use matter in the Pacific Northwest.
