11.13.2023

Stinson LLP Partners Brittany Barrientos, Aimee Guzman Davenport and Kyle Foote are recognized on the Missouri Lawyers Media POWER List featuring the top environmental and energy law attorneys in the state.

Barrientos, Davenport and Foote are three of 32 attorneys to be recognized by the publication.

The POWER List is a series feature from Missouri Lawyers Media that examines practitioners who lead and influence parts of Missouri's legal community. For the categories, the publication's editorial team interviews respected attorneys and leaders around the state, reviews outcomes of significant cases and state records, and consults the archives of Missouri Lawyers Weekly to compile the lists of what they believe to be the most powerful people in each part of Missouri's legal community.

Barrientos has significant experience assisting clients with regulatory requirements arising under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, solid and hazardous waste laws, Superfund, OSHA, TSCA and PHMSA, as well as state and local environmental laws and regulations. Because of the breadth of her practice, she devotes significant time to proactively reviewing and commenting on proposed and final regulations. She routinely works with clients navigating OSHA and EPA matters, including both compliance with regulatory obligations and defense of agency actions.

Davenport has over 20 years of experience working with clients to resolve environmental and energy law matters involving governmental agencies and third parties and the legal authority under which they operate under the Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act. She works closely with clients to delineate impacts, trace root causes and develop feasible remedies, combining regulatory and litigation strategies as necessary to achieve long-term results.

Foote blends state and federal environmental experience and knowledge of regulatory compliance strategies, governmental programs and enforcement efforts to advise on contaminated properties, facility operations, and business and real estate ventures in the complex arena of environmental law. He represents companies subject to federal and state environmental agency regulations and enforcement actions and counsels clients on environmental compliance for wind and solar renewable energy projects.
