“Throughout the state, the name Tess Dunham is synonymous with water quality law and associated challenges with both groundwater and surface water,” said George Soares, KSC Managing Partner. “Expanding our team with Tess and her talent is fantastic for our firm and a major development for our clients who are increasingly confronted with complex water quality regulations.”

Dunham has worked in state government in the California Governor’s Office and with the Department of Conservation. Growing up on a farm, Dunham has also worked for the California Farm Bureau Federation and continues to provide her expertise to a wide range of commodity groups.
A graduate of Boston University and McGeorge School of Law, Dunham participated in the California Agricultural Leadership Program and UC Davis’ Executive Management Program. She actively represents a wide range of clients and coalitions devoted to resolving nitrate, salt and other water quality issues to promote long-term sustainability of California’s water resources, and ensure the needs of farmers, private industries, and municipalities are balanced against environmental concerns.
