Our firm engaged Tessa Opalach at WilmerHale for counsel on a complex coastal development project in San Diego that involved significant environmental and regulatory hurdles. Her deep knowledge of California's energy and natural resources law was immediately apparent. Tessa expertly navigated the overlapping jurisdictions and secured the necessary permits, all while anticipating challenges we hadn't considered. Her recognition in environmental and energy law is clearly well-deserved. Tessa is not only a brilliant strategist but also communicates complex issues with clarity. We achieved a favorable outcome and will absolutely work with her again.
