Spencer Fane is pleased to share Texas: A Water Law Overview, an in-depth Chambers USA piece authored by firm attorneys Evan Johnson, Cody Faulk, Eleanor D’Ambrosio, Rashmin Asher, Creighton McMurray, David Skawin, and Kelsey Parker.
The article, Securing Texas’s Water Future Takes More Than Infrastructure, explores the regulatory, operational, and infrastructure challenges facing Texas water and wastewater utilities. While highlighting emerging strategies designed to improve service quality, support economic development, and strengthen long-term water sustainability, the team emphasizes the importance of cultivating the next generation of industry leaders to guide the development of technology, infrastructure, and governance.
“I specifically seek out young talent who can be ‘thought leaders’ – not gatekeepers but custodians to the cause of ensuring sustainable, safe, reliable, affordable service for all. It cannot just be a ‘career option.’ It has to be a mission,” Evan concluded. “My clients have said Spencer Fane is one of the only firms meaningfully committed to training lawyers in this field. That is how I measure our success. The challenges are significant, but they can be addressed with a sustained pipeline of professionals willing to take on this mission and guide it.”
The Spencer Fane Water Law team represent utilities, municipalities, developers, and other stakeholders in regulatory, transactional, and litigation matters involving water resources and infrastructure.
