Merissa Moeller has emerged as one of Portland鈥檚 most influential environmental and land use attorneys through her decade-long career focused on water rights and natural resources law.

After earning her J.D., cum laude, and Certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources Law from Lewis & Clark Law School in 2015, Moeller served as a judicial clerk on the Ore-gon Court of Appeals from 2015-2016 and Oregon Supreme Court from 2016-2017.

Moeller鈥檚 practice spans high-impact water and land use matters for municipal water sup-pliers, utilities, agribusinesses, renewable energy companies, and land developers. She leads ongoing water rights diligence for the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation鈥檚 Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program, managing a large portfolio of proposed transactions across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana.

Her litigation victories have set legal precedent in water resources and land use cases. She recently secured a win before the Oregon Supreme Court on behalf of East Valley Water Dis-trict, establishing important principles of Oregon water law.
