Bick Law LLP has expanded its legal team by welcoming Tyler Alexander, a former Trial Attorney from the U.S. Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD), who brings significant expertise in federal environmental and natural resources law. Alexander's professional background includes seven years of defending high-profile government permits and projects in federal courts nationwide. His previous work encompassed critical legal areas such as southern border security, mineral and oil and gas development, and wildfire mitigation initiatives.
Throughout his career, Alexander has developed comprehensive experience with numerous federal environmental statutes. His legal expertise spans the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), National Forest Management Act (NFMA), and the Endangered Species Act. Additionally, he has litigated water rights matters in California and represented the United States in Fifth Amendment takings trials. This specialized knowledge is particularly valuable as businesses face increasing regulatory scrutiny and complex compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
Kimberly Bick, co-managing partner of Bick Law LLP, highlighted the strategic importance of Alexander's addition to the firm. She noted that his extensive government experience and specialized knowledge in environmental regulations would significantly enhance the firm's capabilities in handling complex environmental legal challenges. The firm's recognition in the Chambers Spotlight California 2025 Guide for Orange County – Environment demonstrates its established position in the legal market, and Alexander's arrival further strengthens this standing.
The firm, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, continues to strengthen its position as a leading environmental law firm. Bick Law LLP remains committed to providing specialized litigation, compliance, and transactional services across various industries. Alexander's background in defending government permits and projects provides clients with strategic insight into how regulatory agencies approach enforcement and litigation, offering a distinct advantage in both proactive compliance planning and defensive legal strategies. His experience with the Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division means he understands both the regulatory framework and the litigation tactics employed by federal agencies, which is crucial for businesses operating in heavily regulated sectors.
This hiring matters because environmental regulations continue to evolve and become more complex, creating significant legal risks for businesses across multiple industries. Companies involved in energy development, infrastructure projects, manufacturing, and land use require sophisticated legal counsel to navigate the intricate web of federal statutes like NEPA, FLPMA, and the Endangered Species Act. Alexander's specific experience defending government actions in court provides Bick Law LLP clients with valuable perspective on how to structure projects and operations to withstand legal challenges from both regulators and environmental groups. The firm's enhanced capabilities through this strategic hire position it to better serve clients facing environmental permitting disputes, compliance investigations, and litigation related to natural resource development and conservation.
