Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Yamagata was employed as Counsel and Staff Director to the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Development of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Mr. Yamagata received his B.A. from Harvard College in 1969, and his J.D. from the George Washington University National Law Center in 1972.
