Meredith Nikkel, an Associate at Downey Brand, tackles water rights disputes with the discerning eye of a litigator and the innovative thinking of a problem solver.
Her practice involves administrative proceedings before the State Water Resources Control Board as well as addressing complex legal issues with novel solutions before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. Serving private and public entities, Meredith provides insightful analysis that achieves results.
Meredith has resolved agricultural water rights disputes with the Bureau of Reclamation and prosecuted groundwater claims in civil court. She counsels water managers, boards of directors and public agencies on surface and ground water supply issues, reclamation law, and compliance with environmental laws such as CEQA, NEPA and the Endangered Species Act. Her past experience at the federal court of appeals and as a litigator at an international law firm give her the tenacity to untangle the most complicated legal issues and the perspective to distill those issues with an eye toward resolution.
