Notable Experience

  • We worked with a major oil company on a $20 billion gas-to-liquid project. Natural gas is both abundant and affordable relative to other fuels, and this project was intended to make liquid fuels from natural gas at scale. As part of the project, Liskow helped the company devise a permitting strategy for concentrating C02 from the process and using it for enhanced oil recovery by a partner rather than venting it into the atmosphere.
  • We’re counseling a client on the construction of a grain storage facility on the Mississippi River. The project is strategically important and a major business opportunity, but climate change issues will be considered as part of the permitting stage. Additionally, significant environmental justice issues are in play. Multiple, complex, and interrelated issues make this a challenging project, and Liskow is acting as the project’s environmental counsel throughout.

We are known for these strengths

  • Commenting on rulemakings on behalf of clients to regulatory authorities in the process of defining regulations and applicable laws.
  • Educating regulators and lawmakers on implications and alternatives to potential rules; including challenging rules when appropriate for clients.
  • Assistance in reporting data and information with respect to climate change-related projects.
  • Helping clients with the climate change aspects of permitting in NEPA or IT analyses connected with projects.
  • Helping to develop climate change-related projects, such as renewable energy, or carbon capture, utilization, and storage
I have worked with several of the attorneys at Liskow and Lewis on a variety of health, safety and environmental issues. I have found them to be outstanding.
