About Veronica

Veronica Keithley advises clients on environmental permitting, compliance, and in defending against enforcement, with a results-oriented approach. Veronica focuses on issues related to the Clean Water Act, including NPDES permitting, water quality, and wastewater management and compliance in Washington and Alaska for industrial operations, transportation facilities, and resource development projects. Veronica also advises oil and gas and mining clients in Alaska on natural resource and development issues. She has defended clients in federal litigation and enforcement matters.

Veronica uses her practical experience to guide legal solutions, recognizing that permitting is a piece of the larger project puzzle. For more than a decade before becoming an attorney, Veronica worked in the trenches as a scientist and on-site project manager on oil and gas, mining, land development, and timber projects. Through her own consulting experience, and generations of her family, in resource development, Veronica understands that legal solutions must work within a project for it to succeed.
