When government regulators come calling, a business needs astute legal counsel by its side. Whether the situation calls for advice concerning an agency inspection, response to a notice of violation or compliance with an official order, our attorneys intervene quickly to ensure protection of your business and minimize your risk and uncertainty. Having worked in this field for more than two decades, we know the law and we know the regulators. Our broad experience adds up to successful solutions for our clients.
We represent clients before the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Coast Guard. Our services include performance of environmental audits, acquisition of permits, defense of agency enforcement orders and negotiation and drafting of consent orders and corrective-action agreements.
If your business is subject to a government investigation, the right response will depend on your unique circumstances. Negotiation is the best strategy in some cases, litigation in others. Whatever the proper course, our knowledge of the complex regulatory structure and of agency history and precedents enables us to seek the best outcome to protect your business interests.
