Clare M. Bienvenu

Expert guidance on a complex environmental compliance issue

Our company faced a significant compliance challenge with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality regarding a legacy site. We were referred to Clare Bienvenu at Liskow & Lewis. Despite her relatively short time in practice, her recognition by Best Lawyers in Environmental Law was immediately evident. She demonstrated a deep, practical understanding of both the regulatory framework and the litigation landscape, which was crucial as the matter had the potential to escalate. Clare broke down the complex technical and legal issues for our team clearly, drafted precise and effective correspondence with the agency, and helped us negotiate a favorable resolution that avoided costly penalties and litigation. Her strategic approach saved us considerable time and resources. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, there were occasional delays in email responses, but her associate was always available to bridge the gap. We are confident in her expertise and would not hesitate to engage her for future environmental matters.
