PLEASE READ OUR DISCLAIMER PAGE.
For many kinds of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) issues, clients
need sophisticated expertise more than a phalanx of lawyers.  The 20th
century large law firm model is not particularly well suited to providing cost-
effective, targeted legal assistance for EHS matters.  Often, what clients
need is personal attention from a lawyer who understands their issues and
has dealt with such issues many times before.  Legal and technical research;
document assembly; and communications with clients, co-counsel, and
courts and agencies can be accomplished as well today by an individual or a
few lawyers as by a large law firm.  And with the latest technology, it is
possible for expert lawyers to work together from many locations to
assemble the most effective team for any particular EHS problem.  

Operating as FryeLaw PLLC, Russell Frye will continue to do the majority of
his clients’ work himself, but can bring appropriate additional expertise in
when needed. Continuing to work closely with Kelley Drye Collier Shannon,
Russ will be able to call on the resources of the Kelly Drye Collier Shannon
environmental practice group (including a skilled paralegal with 25 yrs. of
experience in environmental law) on an as-needed basis.  In addition, Mr.
Frye can turn to a group of other highly qualified EHS legal experts who
have agreed to assist him as needed (as sub-contractors, in effect).  These
“Resource Lawyers” include former EPA and Department of Justice lawyers;
lawyers with experience dealing with environmental issues in government
agencies and legislatures; and former colleagues whom Mr. Frye worked
with and helped train.  (For information about individual FryeLaw PLLC
Resource Lawyers,

These Resource Lawyers will work together electronically, just as lawyers
even within the same firm do now.  So, for matters requiring additional or
specialized manpower, Russell Frye can put together and manage the right
team.  Clients pay only for the resources they need, and they get the
resources that match their needs.  The client receives one bill for all of
these services.
