Bridgette L. Remington

Biography

I was born and raised in Rutland, Vermont, the daughter of two schoolteachers. I graduated from Rutland High School and the University of Vermont. During college, I attended American University and interned for the United States Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. During and after college, I also lived out west, first in Montana, then in California and Washington chasing powder runs and pursuing professional training in accounting, auditing, programming, project management and finance. I returned to Vermont, working as a Communications and IT Director for a non-profit.

I then went on to attend Vermont Law School, graduating cum laude, with a focus on environmental and energy law. I served as a judicial intern for Justice Brian L. Burgess of the Vermont Supreme Court, an Articles Editor for the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law, a Research Assistant for the US-China Partnership for Environmental Law, and a Dean’s Fellow, teaching legal writing. I also worked for an investment management company assessing legal risk and CSR policies.

Legal Experience

After law school I served as a Hearing Officer for the Vermont Public Utility Commission. After that I engaged in private practice. Initially I focused on representing property developers in the field of Vermont energy permitting and regulation. Later, I joined a respected Rutland law firm and once there mostly represented individuals and businesses in defense of lawsuits in Vermont and New York.

My practice varies now. In the course of helping Pratt Vreeland’s clients, I draw upon my experience and training in the areas of environmental law, utilities, energy, income tax, estates, property development, personal injury and insurance matters.

Personal

My husband and I live with our kiddo and sweet SATO dog, Lucky. We spend most of our time either in the woods, our gardens or on a lake, river, or ski hill.
