Jessica A. Wall

Jessica advises clients in the private and public sectors on environmental and land use issues. She provides strategic counsel on permitting and transactional matters, compliance issues, due diligence, and project development.

Jessica’s environmental experience spans a wide range of issues. She frequently works with a national utility to help them navigate the permitting of complex energy infrastructure projects in New England. In addition, Jessica advises a non-profit environmental group regarding a large tidal restoration project, and helps clients assess various waterfront permitting and planning concerns.  She serves as part of the common counsel team on a Superfund site in New England, and advises public sector clients on solar development projects.  Jessica is also a co-author on the MCLE treatise concerning Chapter 91 and waterfront rights in Massachusetts.
