The law firm of Holland & Hart added Jim Shine, an experienced Alaska project development attorney, to its Anchorage office as Of Counsel, enhancing the team guiding clients through regulatory and environmental review for permitting on state and federal lands.
From his experience working in the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, with oversight over mining and oil and gas development, Shine has in-depth knowledge of how decisions are made and how to help position clients for success. His professional background with upstream oil and gas producer Hilcorp Alaska allows him to understand how companies evaluate investment and development opportunities. He has a strong background conducting due diligence for oil and gas acquisitions and receiving regulatory approvals from state and federal agencies. Shine also has extensive experience working with local governments and Alaska Native Corporations, and he serves as a board member of the Resource Development Council for Alaska.
“I’ve long admired Holland & Hart’s reputation for excellence and the depth of expertise of this talented team,” says Shine. “This is dynamic time for development in Alaska, with opportunities for traditional extractive industries as well as advancements in energy utilization such as hydrogen hubs and carbon capture. I’m excited to re-enter private practice and the chance to collaborate with attorneys, like Jon, to develop strategies that facilitate energy clients’ project development objectives.”
Holland & Hart is a commercial law firm with 500 lawyers in twenty-one offices nationwide, mostly in the Mountain West region. Its Anchorage office was established in 2017.
“Jim will be a great asset to our team serving the needs of companies investing in and developing infrastructure projects in Alaska” says Jon Katchen, Holland & Hart’s Anchorage administrative partner. “Jim knows who’s who in Alaska government, and clients benefit from his relationships with and access to regulators, legislators, and decision makers across state and federal agencies. He also has his ear on the ground of the state’s economic development opportunities.”
