Heather Ladner-Smith provided excellent counsel for our municipality regarding a complex water utility franchise renewal. Her deep knowledge of Mississippi administrative law and her recognized expertise in municipal matters were invaluable. She clearly explained the regulatory landscape and negotiated favorable terms. Her 14 years of experience with public utilities was evident. While her response time was occasionally slower than expected due to her busy schedule, the quality of her work from Butler Snow was top-tier and well worth it.
