Our company retained Jim McLoughlin at Moore & Van Allen when we faced a multi-faceted SEC inquiry that also touched on energy sector compliance. From our first meeting, it was clear we were dealing with a lawyer of exceptional caliber. His 40+ years of experience, particularly in the niche area of regulatory enforcement litigation, provided immediate reassurance. He didn't just recite the law; he explained the strategic landscape, drawing on what I now understand is an award-winning practice in this very field. His team crafted a meticulous, proactive response that addressed the regulators' concerns while vigorously protecting our interests, ultimately leading to a favorable resolution without litigation. Jim's passion for his work and his deep institutional knowledge of Charlotte's legal and business community were invaluable assets. If I had one minor critique, it would be that during the most intense phases, direct communication with Jim himself could sometimes involve a brief wait, as he is clearly in high demand. However, his associates were always responsive, and when we did connect, his insights were worth the patience. We would not hesitate to engage his services again for any serious civil or regulatory dispute.
