Levee & Flood Protection

Fighting the flood.

Husch Blackwell counsels stakeholders nationally on the many political, regulatory and financial issues that arise in every facet of flood control infrastructure and levee system projects. Our flood protection team has broad experience advising on nearly 50 flood protection projects valued in excess of $3 billion, protecting more than $100 billion in property.

We understand that cooperation and partnerships are keys to accomplishing flood-control projects. The positive relationships our attorneys foster between clients and engineers, financial advisors, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, legislators, regulatory department officials, and other state and local government agencies are instrumental in advancing client projects.
 
In Texas, where flood planning can have unique challenges, our team has experience and long-standing relationships that allow us to streamline both client complications and opportunities. We understand how, and when, laws apply regarding a multitude of Texas districts, such as Levee Improvement and Municipal Utility Districts, and district boards. Our Texas team members’ connections throughout the state legislature, federal legislature and relevant agencies make us exceptional client advocates.
