Wildfire Mitigation Policy & Consulting

At WBK, we are Not Just Another law firm. We are trusted advisors and strategic partners to utilities facing the complex challenges of wildfire mitigation. 

With deep expertise in both legal and consulting capacities, we work alongside utilities throughout the country to craft effective wildfire mitigation plans, shape state wildfire policy, and navigate regulatory cost recovery and litigation risks.

Our team has been at the forefront of wildfire mitigation planning, advising utilities on risk assessment and cost recovery, grid hardening strategies, vegetation management policies, and operational best practices in multiple jurisdictions. We understand the intricate balance between compliance, cost recovery, and maintaining reliable service, ensuring our clients’ mitigation plans are not only legally sound but also practical from an execution standpoint.

Beyond planning, we are actively engaged in advancing state wildfire legislation, working with policymakers to develop regulatory frameworks that address evolving wildfire risks while safeguarding utility operations. Our experience in regulatory proceedings and legislative advocacy allows us to help shape policies that align with both public safety goals and utility business imperatives.

With a unique blend of legal acumen, policy expertise, and consulting experience, WBK goes beyond traditional legal services to help utilities navigate the wildfire landscape with confidence. We don’t just provide counsel—we provide solutions.
