What our clients are saying…
Canyoneers hired Leah Corrigan and her team at Recreational Law Group to assist us in delving into our Risk Management plan with extensive focus on our Critical Incident Response Plan and Training. Our insurance carrier was blown away with our Risk Management Plan revision. The underwriter commented that he had never seen such a thorough plan.
This is the kind of response outfitters need from their liability insurance companies in the current climate of concern about coverage availability and affordability.

I met Leah in conjunction with a referral from an insurance carrier that I had worked with for more than 20 years. I learned that Leah had served as general counsel for entities insured by this insurance carrier and that the entities were facing significant, high exposure liability claims. I have been practicing law now for over 31 years and, without question, I was extraordinarily impressed with the work that Leah had done on these cases before my involvement. I learned that Leah had crafted Waivers/Assumption of Risk forms for these clients and done what most lawyers do not do – take the time to provide a thorough thoughtful Waiver/Assumption of Risk form that would help the client limit its exposure and the risks triggered by the claims they were facing. In addition, I learned that Leah had taken a very proactive approach upon learning of the event that would trigger potential liability and she successfully “triaged” the matter in a way that made it a much more defensible case.
Without Leah’s level of attention on the front end and her triage efforts, her/our clients would have faced far more significant exposure and would not have achieved the very favorable results that were ultimately delivered.

We initially turned to Leah and Recreation Law Group for risk management support, which she does exceptionally well.
We’ve gradually moved to using her for all our business needs—from support with harassment investigations to COVID policies—including litigation.
We cannot imagine using someone else now that we’ve worked with Leah so extensively.

General Manager/Owner, Arizona Raft Adventures
Leah and Recreation Law Group were a breath of fresh air after a few pretty unsuccessful and uninspiring conversations.
She was excited about what I was doing, which was the support I wanted right off the bat. Her team was prompt, gave clear expectations, stuck to the timeline they laid out and worked with the budget I had.
And she had experience in my field which was incredibly helpful since I was just getting started.
She was able to communicate the pros and cons to let me make the best decision for my business. As the summer progressed, she was willing to help on a separate project I was working on and was willing to within our incredibly tight timeline.
I can’t recommend her and her team enough, I feel lucky to have their ongoing support.

Leah was able to help guide us through some of the tricky and ticklish currents of gender equity within our company.
She brought authority from being an attorney, credibility from being a river guide, and authenticity from being a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful human being.
We’re not done, but we never could have made it this far without her help.
STEVE WELCH
General Manager - American River Touring Association (ARTA)
Leah has been an invaluable resource for our Association and many of our members.
Her depth of understanding of the culture, pressures, operating environment, and other factors impacting the industry places her in a league of her own.
Her presentations are a highlight at our annual meeting and conference year after year. From educational presentations to legal assistance, Leah has had a profound, positive impact on our Association and our members.
AARON LIEBERMAN
Executive Director - Idaho Outfitters & Guides Association
Leah and Recreation Law Group are a top-notch legal practice capable of handling even the toughest situations.
I know firsthand. I’m the Board Chair of a Type 1 Diabetes camp for children, and Leah helped us navigate two major risks in a year, then create a sustainable risk management plan.
Leah and her team were compassionate and responsive, even after hours, and expertly guided us every step of the way.

Within the normal operations of our river company, a fatality occurred on one of our trips.
This was an emotional event that drastically impacted the family of the deceased. It also left the guides, staff, and owners emotionally distressed. Leah helped walk our company through the immediate aftermath ensuring we did everything which was legally prudent while also helping us learn from the event and grow as a company.
Later, when the lawsuit came, the guidance she gave us immediately after the event proved critical. Her support and guidance through the lawsuit itself resulted in the best possible outcome.
I don’t want to even think about where we would have been without her.
Of equal importance to her legal guidance was her human guidance.
This event was emotionally traumatizing for us all and Leah’s unique combination of legal prowess combined with her incredible humanity and her ability to see through the lens of a guide make her uniquely adept at supporting the people going through this extremely sad and scary event.
No question, Leah is a great lawyer; but of equal importance is that she is simply the person you want to go through this really challenging thing with for the way she will take care of your people and you.

Leah’s advice and legal assistance have been an integral part of my swiftwater rescue consulting firm. From the beginning, Leah has always ensured my assets are protected and that I’m operating in compliance with multiple agencies in a highly complex field.
I could not operate my firm and work with high profile clients without Recreation Law Group on my side.
ERIC RILEY
Owner, Swiftwater Safety Institute
The model of our business is unique. We needed a legal team that would start from scratch. There are layers of non-profit, free market and government regulation in what we do. Leah's expertise and her experience makes us feel protected as well as on the cutting edge in our approach to serving people with disabilities in the outdoor industry.
We recommend her to any business looking to cover all bases.
CHRISTY FOX
Executive Director, Teton Adaptive Sports
Leah Corrigan and Recreation Law Group were informative, professional, and patient when we needed to revise our release of liability and agreement not to sue and indemnify.
The wealth of legal knowledge Leah has, and her ability and willingness to share it is invaluable.
We are truly grateful that she is “on our team.”

As a company who has been running river trips for over 50 years it is easy to think we have everything dialed and know what we are doing. In a moment of humility, however, we hired Leah and Recreation Law Group for a Critical Incident Response Training.
Guides who have been with us for decades said the Critical Incident Response Training was the best training we have ever offered.
Recreation Law Group will help you find the weak spots in your operations and give your staff an eye-opening experience of what happens in a major accident. You will hopefully never need this training, but if you ever have an incident, you will look back on this being the most important training you hosted as a company.
The training also helps your staff show up as more empathetic humans who will be better guides due to what they learn in this class. Sign up now, it will be the best decision you will make this year.
ERIK WEISEITH
Managing Partner - Orange Torpedo Trips
With Leah’s years of experience from being a guide, she understood from day one our operation and where our strengths and weakness might be.
With the Recreation Law Group Critical Incident Response Training, Leah and her crew created realistic and detailed scenarios that provided a great practice ground for our staff to gain vital experience.
The ability for our staff to ask legal questions and hypotheticals, along with Leah’s ability to show our staff how to express compassion while navigating a response, instilled great confidence in our staff on how to work through any incident that might occur.
Without hesitation, I would urge any Outfitter to empower their staff with Leah’s Critical Incident Response Training.

After 46 years of operating Steens Mountain High Altitude Running Camp, I grew tired of bushwhacking, improvising, getting legal advice from those who had never hiked, ran, or fell down a steep incline, and borrowing camp waivers both off and on the internet.
Bam! Enter Recreation Law Group!
Steens Mountain High Altitude Running Camp now has custom crafted acknowledgement of dangers and risks and liability waivers, one for parents and their minor participants, and one for our adult running camp.
