    Blake Donewar represents companies in the transportation, manufacturing and energy sectors, with a focus on litigation and regulatory compliance. His experience working on high-profile environmental claims helps him find solutions to complex, multi-party suits that limit risk and operational impacts.

    A deep understanding of pressing environmental issues and policy trends informs Blake’s counsel on toxic tort, products liability and regulatory compliance concerns. He works closely with businesses in highly regulated industries to build positive relationships with regulators and stay ahead of fast-moving agency developments. And when clients face high-stakes litigation, Blake brings experience on both sides of the courtroom to spot issues others might not and find productive paths forward.
