John K. Morris

Expert guidance through a complex environmental compliance matter

Our company faced a daunting environmental compliance review related to a legacy site in the Bay Area. The regulatory landscape was a tangle of state and local requirements, and the potential liabilities were significant. We were referred to John Morris at Perkins Coie, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, John demonstrated a profound command of California environmental law. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the practical implications and enforcement trends with clarity, referencing his deep experience in this niche. His recognition in the field, including by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident in his strategic approach. John meticulously analyzed our historical data, coordinated with technical consultants, and crafted a proactive engagement strategy with the regulatory agencies. His calm, professional demeanor was invaluable during negotiations, and he successfully guided us to a favorable resolution that mitigated risk without crippling operational delays. Working with an attorney of his caliber in a firm like Perkins Coie provided immense confidence. John is more than a lawyer; he's a strategic partner who protects your interests with exceptional skill and dedication. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any business navigating environmental legal challenges.
