Emory Law Graduates Head Water Resources Practice Team at Arnall Golden Gregory

Arnall Golden Gregory attorneys H. Bruce Jackson 82L and John L. Gornall Jr. 72L have been chosen to lead the firm’s new eight-person Water Resources Practice Team, focused on helping companies manage the full spectrum of legal needs related to water usage.

“Increasingly, businesses operating in Georgia and the rest of the Southeast need to be familiar with new and changing legislation and regulation on water use,” Jackson said. “Arnall Golden Gregory is well-versed in federal and state water law and developing the Water Resources Practice Team provides companies a legal partner for navigating this ever-changing area of law.”

“As governments come to realize that water is a scarce and increasingly expensive resource, they will be looking to the private sector for solutions,” Gornall said. “We have helped numerous clients develop public-private partnership and franchise agreements and believe this will be an important component of work for the Water Resources Practice Team.”

Jackson is a member of the Colorado bar where his practice focuses almost exclusively on water law. He has worked on Georgia water issues since the early 1980s when he represented the Georgia Council of Trout Unlimited on water quality issues related to a re-regulation dam proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Gornall has many years experience with public, private and public-private water and waste water systems. He has represented government, development authorities, lenders and developers in designing and operating water-related plants.
