Gough, Shanahan, Johnson & Waterman is one of the oldest law firms in Montana. The firm was founded in 1879 during Montana's territorial gold rush days. From the firm's beginnings in the turbulent territorial days of the Last Chance Gulch gold rush, development during the reign of Montana's "copper barons," and through the resource conflicts of the 1990's, Gough, Shanahan, Johnson & Waterman has maintained a diversified practice with an emphasis on the natural resources of the state.
