Maddie Kadas practices both domestic and international environmental law and is a founder of Beveridge & Diamond, P.C.'s Austin, Texas office and Chair of the Latin American practice.

For more than a decade, Maddie has served in an “in-house” capacity managing the Latin American environmental portfolio of a Fortune-50 Company with significant operations throughout Latin America.  She provides regulatory tracking services for a major U.S. trade association on pending Latin American initiatives affecting the electronics sector.  Fluent in Spanish, she assists clients with compliance and regulatory matters in Latin America.  

Maddie also represents the Firm's clients on a variety of regulatory and litigation matters under U.S. domestic environmental laws, and has extensive experience in air and waste issues affecting the chemical manufacturing and refining sectors. As part of that experience, she has both managed and participated in facility compliance assessments and audits, including numerous Title V permit certifications under the federal Clean Air Act.   

Before joining Beveridge & Diamond, Maddie was a staff attorney with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) (now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) and represented the Executive Director in contested cases relating to low-level radioactive and industrial hazardous waste permits.

Maddie is a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. She is one of a handful of U.S. attorneys to receive a post-graduate degree from La Escuela Libre de Derecho School of Law, Mexico's premier law school, where she wrote and defended a thesis on Mexico's hazardous waste and remediation standards.  From 1988-1990, she served in the United States Peace Corps in Guatemala. She is a frequent writer and speaker on the subject of domestic and international environmental law.
