He routinely represents companies of all sizes before federal and state regulatory agencies, such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and federal and state administrative tribunals, such as the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission and the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.
In addition to his energy practice, a small portion of Brandon's practice is devoted to advising clients on issues relating to the aquatics industry. He has advised municipalities with various issues associated with operating aquatic facilities including: lifeguarding and staffing requirements; steps necessary to comply with the Virginia Graeme Pool and Spa Safety Act; and how to implement requirements imposed upon aquatic facilities under the Americans With Disabilities Act. He has also represented homeowners and homeowner associations in lawsuits involving construction of swimming pools and swimming pool accidents. He is a certified instructor for the National Pool and Spa Foundation's Certified Pool Operator course, a certified lifeguard instructor for the American Red Cross and frequently speaks on aquatic-related topics at various seminars throughout the United States.
