Transportation Cases to Watch
Troutman Sanders was mentioned in an October 13 Law360 article, which took a look at four high-profile legal battles that transportation attorneys are tracking closely.
In a section titled “War Over ‘Waters of the U.S.’ rule,” the firm was touted for its ongoing role in a case where 28 states, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and energy companies are challenging a recently finalized rule clarifying which waterways in the United States are subject to federal jurisdiction. The impact of the case could impact major transportation and infrastructure projects that cross state borders. In September, the railroad industry entered into the fray by launching its own suit against the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers’ “waters of the United States” rule.
Richmond partner Brooks Smith, Atlanta partner Doug Henderson and Atlanta associate Justin Wong have been mentioned in previous articles about this subject for their representation of Murray Energy, one of the energy companies challenging the EPA’s rule.
