Our company faced significant hurdles with a local land development project involving wetland delineation and state-level environmental permits. We were referred to Jacob Neeley at Perkins Coie. From our first meeting in the Madison office, his command of both Wisconsin environmental regulations and the overlapping energy infrastructure considerations was immediately apparent. Jacob meticulously deconstructed the regulatory challenges we faced and formulated a clear, strategic path forward. His recognition in Environmental and Energy Law was evident in every interaction; he anticipated agency concerns we hadn't even considered. The process was demanding, but Jacob's professionalism and steady guidance were invaluable. He successfully navigated the negotiations with regulators, securing the necessary approvals without costly delays. We are deeply grateful for his exceptional expertise and highly recommend him for any complex environmental or energy-related legal matter.
