Chambers Ranks John Draper Band 1 for Water Law


Draper & Draper is pleased to announce that John Draper was ranked Band 1 for Water Law in the 2021 edition of Chambers USA. This is the 15th year that Draper has been recognized by Chambers & Partners. Chambers states "John Draper has years of invaluable experience representing clients in various water-related proceedings. He is particularly well known for his appearances before the Supreme Court in interstate water rights cases."


"John Draper is very intelligent and informative on water issues - I would recommend him without hesitation." "He has an outstanding knowledge of water rights, both statutory and case law - he is also very personable and calm."

Previous editions of Chambers USA have stated that Draper is as "a preeminent water law and natural resources attorney" and one who "elicits the highest possible praise from sources for his water law practice."

Chambers has quoted clients stating:

'I can think of no other lawyer in the country who has such a firm command over not only the substantive law of interstate water litigation but also its relevant procedural requirements and political realities.'"
