arena and an experienced trial attorney. Representing both
public agencies and non-profit organizations, Roos-Collins
focus is on policy, negotiation, and litigation involving
natural resources and energy, with an emphasis on
restoration of environmental quality consistent with
economic growth.
The Natural Heritage Institute (NHI) is a non-governmental,

lawyers and focuses its business on finding solutions to
environmental problems.
