Meet Nathan Alley

One of the most rewarding aspects of being involved with NOPE! is the opportunity to meet a diverse group of passionate, bright people who are dedicated to protecting and serving all of our communities.  In September 2016, we were introduced to Nathan Alley at a Miami Valley Sierra Club presentation.  Nathan has spent years practicing public interest and environmental law.  He is part of a cause-based legal firm called Fair Shake.  Nathan and his colleagues at Fair Shake represent modest means clients.  They have a unique business model focused on empowering communities, defending environmental justice and developing capabilities in other attorneys in environmental stewardship and justice.

Nathan Alley is from Ohio.  His commitment to environmental justice and stewardship is evident throughout out his career.  Nathan has a B.A. in Journalism and Religious Studies from Indiana University and a J.D. from the New York University School of Law.   He has more than a decade of experience working on issues involving oil/gas drilling and fracking, protecting water quality and agricultural lands.  Nathan has contributed to numerous law journals, periodicals and trade publications, and he is a regular presenter on topics such as land use, oil and gas development, air and water law, public participation and nonprofit advocacy.

He recently moved back to Greater Cincinnati to defend his own family’s multi-generational farm from suburban development.  NOPE! is very fortunate to have Nathan as a passionate advocate for our cause and environmental justice legal expert for our intervention case.
