Tsai Law Firm represented the National Audubon Society, Golden Gate Audubon Society, Mount Diablo Audubon Society, Ohlone Audubon Society, and Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society (collectively “Audubon”) in settling litigation challenging the approval of a new wind turbine facility in California’s Altamont Pass.
