About Aleava
Aleava Sayre is a partner in Stoel Rives’ Environment, Land Use & Natural Resources group who focuses her practice on environmental law, mining law and litigation. Her exceptional public speaking and presentation skills, her ability to adapt complex legal and technical information to different settings, and her solution-oriented approach allows her to effectively advocate for her clients before an array of audiences.
In the environmental and regulatory space, she counsels clients in environmental issues arising under federal, state, and local laws that relate to project development, administrative challenges or proceedings, enforcement actions, and litigation. Her substantial experience working with technical experts, nuanced and novel legal issues, and with regulatory officials enables her to identify potential substantive or procedural obstacles and proactively develop solutions that achieve her clients’ objectives.
As a litigator, Aleava develops and implements strategies to develop a successful case to persuade courts to rule in favor of her clients or to secure a favorable settlement. Well-versed in complex commercial, regulatory, and real estate litigation, Aleava understands how to shape positive outcomes for her clients.
Mining, like many of the regulated industries represented by Aleava, requires a sophisticated understanding of the industry and the unique challenges facing companies engaged in mineral exploration and development. With more than twelve years of specific experience working with companies in the mining sectors, Aleava has an in-depth understanding of the industry’s needs and challenges. She applies this knowledge to assist mining clients in all stages of mineral exploration, development, operations, and closure, as well as in the areas of environmental compliance, environmental permitting and environmental review.
Before joining Stoel Rives, Aleava was an attorney at Stinson Leonard Street LLP. After law school, she was a law clerk for the Honorable Harriet Lansing of the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
