Companies, trade associations, and industry coalitions look to David Chung to develop creative and effective regulatory and policy solutions and, when necessary, to defend their interests in federal courts. David is best known for his sage and pragmatic counsel in litigation, regulatory advocacy, enforcement defense, and compliance matters arising under the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and other major federal environmental statutes. When challenges to rule-makings and other agency actions involve the Environmental Protection Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers, or Department of the Interior bureaus, clients value his experience in litigating challenges as petitioner/plaintiff, intervenor, and amicus. Increasingly, companies find themselves on the defensive end of agency and citizen suit enforcement actions and call on David for efficient and discrete resolution.
Advocacy before promulgating agencies and the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs can be burdensome and nuanced. David has a successful track record in preparing comments and advocating for proposed rules and agency policies. In addition to his core environmental practice, David also advises clients on nonenvironmental litigation arising under the Administrative Procedure Act. He has litigated in federal courts and represented clients in administrative proceedings before the Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Consumer Product Safety Commission, and Surface Transportation Board.
David co-chairs the firm’s Lawyer Development Committee and is a member of its Talent Development Committee.
