Doug Manson, Chair of the Water Management District and Florida Department of Environmental Protection Department transition team briefs Governor-elect Scott on their recommendations.

Manson Law Group is an environmental and governmental law firm practicing throughout Florida. The firm focuses on water, environmental, administrative and governmental law and offers a full range of services, from permitting through mediation or litigation. In addition, our legislative practice represents clients with local, regional and state bodies. We assist our clients by negotiating with state and local agencies, and navigating complex issues through the governmental process.

We have extensive experience in agency rulemaking. Our clients include local governments, regional water supply authorities, utilities, agricultural interests, developers and industry. We are frequently called on to challenge or defend environmental and water permits and regulations.

We also provide protection for existing permit holders by challenging regulations or rules that adversely impact our clients. As water use permits have become increasingly difficult to move through the permitting process, our firm has been successful in securing and defending needed water supplies for public and private sector clients. 

In addition to environmental law, the firm provides legal services related to special districts, impact fees and annexation issues. We work hard to deliver these highly specialized legal services to public and private entities with the highest standard of excellence and integrity.

Manson Law Group also provides representation for clients on transactions between governments and private interests, including the negotiating and drafting of general government interlocal agreements. 

Public Affairs is oftentimes an integral component of gaining success for our clients.  Manson Law Group provides a variety of public affairs services to our clients.

We can provide you with complex legal advice coupled with specific knowledge of how to accomplish what is best for your organization in state and local government in the most economic manner.
