Environmental Law Firm Bick LLP Adds Former DOJ Attorney to Expand Expertise

Newport Beach-based environmental law firm Bick Law LLP has announced the addition of Tyler Alexander, a former Department of Justice trial attorney with seven years of federal environmental litigation experience. Alexander brings significant expertise in complex environmental legal matters, potentially expanding the firm's strategic capabilities in natural resources and regulatory compliance.

Alexander's professional background includes defending high-profile government permits and projects across federal courts nationwide. His experience spans critical legal domains such as border security, mineral and energy development, and wildfire mitigation strategies. During his tenure at the Department of Justice's Environment and Natural Resources Division, he developed comprehensive knowledge of multiple federal environmental statutes.

The attorney's expertise encompasses complex regulatory frameworks including the National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Land Policy and Management Act, and Endangered Species Act. Alexander has also litigated water rights cases in California and represented the United States in Fifth Amendment takings trials before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

Kimberly Bick, co-managing partner, highlighted the strategic significance of Alexander's recruitment, noting that his addition provides the firm with deeper subject matter expertise, particularly in environmental policy, natural resources, and water law. The hiring coincides with Bick Law's 10-year anniversary and follows the firm's recent recognition in the Chambers Spotlight California 2025 Guide for environmental law in Orange County.

Alexander's background as a judicial clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals further enhances the firm's litigation capabilities. His extensive experience defending complex governmental environmental initiatives suggests Bick Law is positioning itself to handle increasingly sophisticated environmental legal challenges across various industries.

The recruitment underscores the continued evolution of environmental law practices, reflecting growing complexity in regulatory compliance, land use, and natural resource management. As industries face increasingly stringent environmental regulations, firms like Bick Law are investing in attorneys with deep governmental and litigation experience to provide comprehensive legal strategies.
