Parsons Behle & Latimer (Parsons) congratulates Lisa A. Kirschner on her election to The American College of Environmental Lawyers (ACOEL), an honor given to a very few select attorneys. This year, Kirschner is one of only 17 attorneys nationally to be elected as a fellow of The ACOEL.
Kirschner says, “I am thrilled to have been elected to The ACOEL and honored to be included in such an esteemed group of environmental lawyers.”
A senior natural resources and environmental law attorney at Parsons, Kirschner is a leading specialist in the U.S. for her deep knowledge and experience in federal, state and local compliance obligations in a range of water quality and safe drinking water-related permitting and compliance programs. Her clients include industrial, municipalities and interest groups.
The ACOEL is a professional association of distinguished lawyers who practice in the field of environmental law. Membership is by invitation, and members are recognized by their peers as preeminent in their field. Members are dedicated to maintaining and improving the ethical practice of environmental law, the administration of justice and the development of environmental law through rigorous focus, outreach and education in all forums — federal, state, municipal, tribal and international.
Michael A. Zody, chairperson of Parsons’ natural resources and environmental law practice says, “We could not be more proud of Lisa’s accomplishment in being recognized by The American College of Environmental Lawyers. Lisa is a national expert in water quality issues. Our firm is lucky to have had the benefit of her high level of practice and to work with her as a dedicated colleague. Lisa cares deeply about helping our clients solve complex environmental problems and has set a high bar for her professionalism and leadership in the field of environmental law.”
ACOEL President Kevin R, Murray of Holland and Hart, LLP says, “Our new fellows are among the very best practitioners of environmental law in the country. Collectively, they represent tremendous depth, breadth, and diversity of experience. We are pleased to welcome them to the College on the basis of their career achievements and thought leadership.”
