Ashley Scott
Kate Campbell handled a complex environmental compliance issue for our manufacturing company, stemming from a legacy Superfund site. Her deep knowledge of RCRA and her 20+ years of experience in environmental litigation were evident. She is clearly a recognized expert in this niche, and her analysis of our potential liability was thorough. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal strategy was sound, there were periods where communication lagged, making it difficult to get timely updates on procedural steps. Responses to emails sometimes took several days. The outcome was ultimately satisfactory, but the process required more proactive management on our part than expected. For straightforward matters requiring her specific expertise, she is capable, but be prepared to follow up diligently.
