Notable Experience

  • We counseled a petroleum refinery and evaluated enforcement actions initiated against them. We analyzed the allegations, and resolved all potential violations for the facility going back five years to a settlement that was a favorable resolution.
  • For a client in the hazardous waste industry preparing for a sale, we helped them execute a self-audit and uncovered substantial compliance issues. We helped them self-disclose to a regulatory agency, and over a two-year period, settled issues initially evaluated at $1 million for $45,000.

We are known for these strengths

  • Providing accurate, actionable evaluation of potential compliance violations, including fact-based evaluation of potential penalty ranges.
  • Developing effective disclosure strategies.
  • Effectively negotiating with regulatory agencies, both with respect to immediate and long-term issues, and successful, effective working relationships with them.
  • Efficient and accurate management of the administrative elements of settlements.
  • Strategic guidance to clients regarding potential or upcoming regulatory focus, including novel or emerging areas of scrutiny and enforcement.
