MSHA

We regularly represent major coal operators and family-owned mines before administrative law judges and regulatory agencies, including the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.  Team attorneys are supported by the deep bench strength of our labor and litigation departments.  In addition, energy attorneys actively monitor legislative actions and proactively share knowledge with clients about the ever-changing regulatory environment.
