Area of Emphasis:
Bruce specializes in federal, state, and local environmental law and regulation. After beginning his career at Sacramento law firms focused on land use and mining law, he joined Dave to strengthen the firm’s permitting and regulation compliance practice, especially in the areas of wetlands, endangered species, and water quality compliance. In addition to these specialty areas, Bruce has become a favorite of clients for managing the difficult tasks involved with preparing and processing environmental documentation under CEQA. His diligence and knack for seeing through obstacles in the public process has led to successful CEQA compliance for mining; oil pipelines; and industrial, commercial, and residential development projects. Bruce formulates strategies for and oversees regulatory compliance, environmental and permitting success, preparation of technical documents, applications for reclamation plans and use permits, and adjunct planning and SMARA services for lead agencies.
