About Our Firm

Rooted in Elko.
Ready for the tracks ahead.

Union Pacific Railroad Company is a full-service legal and financial advisory firm headquartered in Elko, Nevada — at the heart of one of the country's most vital rail corridors. Our practice serves Class I railroads, freight operators, logistics companies, and public-sector entities across the Intermountain West.

We understand that railroad law is not general practice. It requires fluency in federal regulation, deep familiarity with collective bargaining under the Railway Labor Act, and the financial acumen to navigate capital projects that span thousands of miles and billions of dollars.

Our team brings decades of combined experience from railroad litigation, surface transportation board practice, and infrastructure finance. We've advised on right-of-way disputes, FELA claims, environmental remediation, and corporate restructuring — always with an eye toward practical outcomes, not just legal theory.

Our Approach

Methodical. Strategic. Result-oriented.

Every engagement follows a disciplined process — from initial assessment through resolution and beyond.

Step 01

Intake & Assessment

We begin with a thorough review of your situation — whether it's a pending regulatory filing, a commercial dispute, or a strategic financial decision. No issue is too narrow; no scope too broad.

Step 02

Strategy Development

Our team develops a tailored strategy that balances legal risk, financial impact, and operational reality. We present clear options — not just one recommended path.

Step 03

Execution

Whether that means negotiation, litigation, regulatory filing, or financial restructuring, we execute with precision and keep you informed at every milestone.

Step 04

Resolution & Follow-Through

We don't close the file and disappear. Post-resolution support, compliance monitoring, and proactive follow-up are standard — not add-ons.

"Union Pacific Railroad Company helped us navigate a complex right-of-way dispute that had stalled our expansion for two years. Their understanding of both the legal landscape and the operational realities of rail freight was unlike anything we'd encountered."
