Bio

Nate Broadhurst is back at Clyde Snow after spending the last several years clerking in Utah’s state and federal courts. Most recently, he completed a clerkship with Chief Judge Robert Shelby at the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. Prior to his federal service, Nate clerked at the Utah Court of Appeals, serving for one year in Judge Ryan Harris’s chambers, and then completing a 6-month term as a court-wide judicial clerk.

Nate earned his J.D. at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, and both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Alabama. While in law school, Nate clerked at Clyde Snow during his 2L summer and part-time during his 3L year. Prior to Clyde Snow, he completed an externship at the Office of the City Attorney for Salt Lake City, focusing on filing Water User Claims and ancillary research required to assert the City’s water rights in the Utah Lake-Jordan River General Adjudication. Nate also spent a semester in Washington, D.C., externing at the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division, where he served with the Environmental Crimes Section.

Nate focuses his practice on natural resources, environmental law, water rights issues, civil litigation, and everything in between. In the environmental and natural resources arena, he has worked at the local, state, and federal level, allowing him to draw on his multifaceted experience to find the best solutions for his clients. Further, his experience clerking in Utah’s state and federal courts affords him with a unique perspective in working with clients to meet their litigation goals.

Nate is an outdoor enthusiast and in his free time enjoys running, skiing, hiking, camping, and soaking up Utah’s natural beauty with his family.
