Jim and his team use their experience in waterfront property law to help people like you fight to keep large businesses from setting up big, ugly oyster farms in the water in front of their property. They have the training in environmental law to defend wetlands owners against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and the local Wetlands Board. They know how to draw the waterfront property lines that create a riparian area in which a waterfront property owner can build a pier. They worked with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) and the City of Norfolk to clear out a floating boat junkyard that was harming the Elizabeth River and destroying the value of a client’s riparian property rights. They also use their background in maritime & admiralty law to protect both shipbuilders and vessel owners. Jim’s team has helped pier owners on the Potomac, homeowners on the Eastern Shore, and vessel owners on the James River.
Jim Lang and his team care about Virginia’s waterways beyond purely legal matters. They work with private groups, such as The Elizabeth River Project, Lynnhaven River Now, Citizens for a Better Eastern Shore, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to clean and protect waterways in Virginia.
