DENVER (PRWEB) April 11, 2014 -- Chris Neumann, a shareholder in the Environmental practice at the international law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP, was recently confirmed by the Colorado Senate to serve another three-year term on its Colorado Solid and Hazardous Waste Commission. Neumann has served since 2005 and is the chairman of the commission.
“We are pleased that Chris was confirmed again to this very important commission,” says David G. Palmer, managing shareholder at Denver’s Greenberg Traurig Office. “Chris offers a wealth of insight into the challenges that industry faces in Colorado when it comes to solid and hazardous waste.”
Neumann counsels clients in the retail, natural gas, petroleum, construction, home building, solid and hazardous waste, and mining industries on a wide variety of litigation, environmental, natural resources, American Indian law, administrative, land use, and insurance coverage matters.
