"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe," wrote John Muir of his first summer in the Sierras. Ira Feldman's interdisciplinary approach to his work in strategic environmental management and sustainability policy exemplifies this connectedness. Cutting across "big picture" policy issues; legal and regulatory innovations; and organizational best practices, Ira's practice defies conventional categorization. "Intentionally so!" exclaims the president and senior counsel of Greentrack Strategies.

A long-time proponent of multi- disciplinary practice, Ira routinely works on teams with lawyers and non-lawyers. "I'm drawn to cutting-edge issues and alternate approaches, especially those utilizing voluntary standards as a complement to mandatory regulation."

Ira is already there with Greentrack Strategies.
