Towards the beginning of 2016—amid a flurry of legislative and regulatory efforts that culminated in the passage of the Oregon Clean Electricity & Coal Transition Act—we at CUB managed to find a new Regulatory Staff Attorney. After a long and thorough process, I am pleased to announce that Mike Goetz has joined our team. Mike has been with us for just over a month, and he seems to be both conquering and enjoying the new challenges of working in the ever-evolving field of energy utility regulation.
A native of the Chicago area, Mike moved to the Pacific Northwest to attend the University of Oregon School of Law. He graduated in 2013 with a J.D. and a certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources Law. He then completed a post-graduate Energy Law & Policy Fellowship, which increased his desire to work as a public interest energy advocate. He is a member of the Oregon State Bar.
Though Mike’s background is varied, he has never wavered in his desire to use his legal expertise to benefit the people, climate, and natural heritage of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. During and after law school, Mike worked as an attorney and law clerk at various environmental/conservation non-profit organizations. Prior to joining CUB, Mike worked with a Portland-based environmental attorney and also as an associate attorney at a plaintiff’s side civil litigation firm.
When not at CUB, Mike says he enjoys hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and honing his amateur backcountry skiing and mountaineering skills, while also enjoying the urban lifestyle that Portland provides. On weekends, you can find him seeking out a sunny ridge line, enjoying the food and culture of Portland, or spending time with friends.
Join me in welcoming Mike to our team!
