Essential Counsel for Complex Environmental Compliance

Our manufacturing company faced a daunting enforcement action from state regulators over alleged permit violations. The complexity was immense, and the potential penalties were severe. We engaged John Van Lieshout at Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren based on his long-standing recognition in environmental law. With over two decades of experience, John immediately demonstrated a masterful command of both the technical regulations and the strategic litigation landscape. His approach was thorough and pragmatic; he guided us through a meticulous internal review, negotiated effectively with the agency, and ultimately secured a favorable settlement that included a viable corrective action plan instead of crippling fines. John’s deep expertise, calm professionalism, and commitment to a positive outcome were invaluable. He is precisely the counsel you want in a high-stakes environmental matter.
