The firm specializes in the following practice areas: Attorney General Engagement: Jon Bruning served as the Nebraska Attorney General from 2003-2015. In addition, the Bruning Law Group includes professionals that have decades of experience working inside an attorney general office. Government, Law & Service: The team at Bruning Law Group has effectively advanced important issues at the local, state and national level. Their experience advancing legislation in the state capitol and testifying before U.S. Congress gives Jon Bruning and his team a unique skill set that ensures the client's interests are advanced. Supreme Court Amicus: Having authored and joined over 265 amicus briefs while Attorney General, Jon Bruning and the professionals at Bruning Law Group know what it takes to put together a persuasive argument that is supported by a broad coalition of states and is well-received by the courts. Complex Dispute Resolution: From complex multi-state river compact disputes, to settlement of a decade-long dispute with the big tobacco companies, to protecting state interests in the major automobile manufacturers’ bankruptcies, the Bruing Law Group team has developed lines of communications and crafted creative resolutions that allowed parties to come together and resolve their differences in a constructive manner. Agriculture, Water & Environment: The EPA has treated agricultural producers as the enemy, ignoring the positive impacts agricultural producers have achieved for generations. Those impacts include water and soil conservation, maximizing utility of fertilizers and pesticides, expenditure of substantial dollars to control nutrient management on livestock operations, and more. As Attorney General, the Bruning Law Group team pushed back on expansion of EPA’s authority more than 45 times. Show less
