As a former trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, Traci helps clients navigate complex regulatory compliance issues.
Traci counsels on proactive and defensive strategies in environmental litigation and enforcement actions, with a particular focus on Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, RCRA, and CERCLA compliance. She brings valuable insight into how the federal government approaches and litigates injunctive relief, civil penalties, natural resources damages, and how the federal government resolves cases through Consent Decrees. From working closely with federal agencies and other technical experts, she brings deep understanding of the scientific data analysis that informs both enforcement priorities and compliance benchmarks.
Traci also guides clients through the complexities of Nevada's evolving utility regulatory landscape on regulatory proceedings and disputes before the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN). Her clients include energy providers, developers, consumer advocacy groups, and businesses seeking to understand and comply with PUCN regulations.
