Expert guidance on a complex energy project

Karen McGaffey provided exceptional counsel on the regulatory and environmental permitting for our new hydroelectric facility. Her deep knowledge of Washington's energy landscape, honed over 15 years, was invaluable. She clearly leveraged her recognized expertise to navigate complex agency hurdles efficiently. While her billing rates reflect her top-tier firm, communication response times could occasionally be quicker during non-critical phases. Overall, her client-focused approach from Perkins Coie delivered a successful outcome we were very pleased with.
