Janelle R. Walkden

Once I take on a challenge, I explore every avenue until I reach a solution.

My Approach

I’ve always had an interest in environmental and renewable energy work, which was reinforced throughout my undergraduate and law school experiences. In school, I had the opportunity to work on an Environmental Impact Statement and later was fortunate to clerk for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). This hands-on experience informs my current legal practice and allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, as someone who understands not only their project and end-goals, but the potential legal and administrative hurdles to get there. I approach these challenges by seeking common ground and finding advantageous solutions for my clients.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and getting out in nature as often as I can. I love the outdoors – particularly being on or near water and tending to my growing fruit trees.
