Nevada faces unique problems because most of its land is owned or controlled by the federal government. Permitting, access and regulatory oversight are just a few of the areas with which Black & Wadhams has expertise. The firm has years of experience in negotiating with the various land management agencies.

And not only is Nevada’s water law complicated, but Nevada has the fewest water resources, including the lowest rainfall, of any state in the country. Thus, adjudication and allocation of those resources require unique expertise and finesse. Among the problems related to this resource are many users attempting to obtain permits to use water in basins that are almost fully or over appropriated.
