Lawson Fite, a shareholder at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwabe.com\/\">Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt, P.C.<\/a>, will lead the session, which is one of two ethics sessions at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>The Western conference, hosted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/\">National Agricultural Law Center<\/a> and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture Foundation, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasda.org\/nasda-foundation\/\">NASDA Foundation<\/a>, will be held on June 19-20 in Reno, Nevada, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peppermillreno.com\/\">Peppermill Resort Spa Casino<\/a>. It also features a livestream option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Western conference is designed to provide attorneys, students, agricultural producers, and professionals with insight into key legal and policy issues affecting agriculture in the Western United States,\u201d said NALC Director Harrison Pittman. \u201cLawson brings both legal expertise and practical experience when it comes to navigating agency interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fite represents clients in a range of environmental and natural resources issues, including litigation and regulatory matters under the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and National Environmental Policy Act. He previously served as general counsel at the <a href=\"https:\/\/amforest.org\/\">American Forest Resource Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our field, communicating with government regulators is common,\u201d Fite said. \u201cThere are important boundaries to maintain \u2014 both in what we say and how we say it. This session will explore those obligations and help practitioners identify and address potential ethical pitfalls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his session, Fite will discuss how to clarify who is being represented in agency communications, understand the nature of government representations, rights to petition, and professional duties owed to non-governmental clients.<\/p>\n<p>The conference features continuing legal education credit, as well as continuing education from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asfmra.org\/home\">American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers<\/a>.
