Somach Simmons & Dunn | Attorneys at Law
Somach Simmons & Dunn is the sole Northern California representative for the Environmental Law Network (ELN). The ELN is a network of environmental law firms that make local legal representation available nationwide. As business becomes more national and international, clients increasingly face complex environmental issues in more than one jurisdiction. The ELN significantly extends the breadth and geographic reach of environmental legal advice and representation to meet these needs. No more than two law firms from each state are chosen to join the ELN depending on the state’s size and population. The ELN further requires each member firm to demonstrate that its practice concentrates in environmental and land use law and considers the breadth of each firm’s practice, the depth of experience, ethical standards and professionalism of the firm’s attorneys, and the general reputation in the community and with the environmental bar. The ELN has more than 250 environmental attorneys across the country sharing ideas, information, experiences, and contacts to increase the value of legal representation for their respective clients. Leaders in each of the member firms average more than 20 years of experience in the field. Mike Vergara and Alyson Ackerman are the ELN contacts for Somach Simmons & Dunn.
