Josh focuses his practice on environmental matters in a variety of contexts including corporate transactions, regulatory compliance counseling, and guiding clients in litigation.

Josh regularly provides environmental due diligence support for transactions across all industry sectors, represents lenders in connection with renewable energy project finance, and identifies solutions to individual compliance matters arising under federal, state, and local environmental regulations.

Josh’s professional interests stem from his upbringing on a third-generation family farm in South Dakota. Prior to joining the firm, Josh interned with the Michigan Attorney General's Environment, Natural Resources, & Agriculture Division. While at Michigan Law School, Josh spent two semesters working in the Environmental Law and Sustainability Clinic. Both engagements provided valuable regulatory compliance and litigation experience.

Continuing the trend of hands-on experience, Josh also participated in Michigan Law School’s Veterans Legal Clinic, helping litigate claims on behalf of veterans. Upon graduation from law school, Josh completed a fellowship with the Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI) at the Loyola University Chicago–Business Law Clinic, where he assisted entrepreneurs and non-profits on corporate matters.
