Marc-André Boucher

Expert guidance through a complex municipal licensing dispute

Our company, a small renewable energy contractor, faced a significant roadblock when a municipal board denied our operating license application under what we felt were arbitrary new interpretations of local ordinances. The situation threatened to delay a major project and incur substantial penalties. We engaged Marc-André Boucher at Fasken based on his recognized profile in Administrative and Public Law. Mr. Boucher's deep understanding of the procedural frameworks at both the local and state levels was immediately evident. He didn't just react to the denial; he conducted a thorough review of the board's recent decisions and communications, identifying a pattern of inconsistent application that formed the basis of our appeal. His strategy was meticulous, and his representation before the administrative review panel was both firm and exceptionally well-prepared. We successfully secured our license with amended conditions. While his expertise is unquestionable and worth the investment, there were periods during the engagement where response times to non-urgent emails could stretch to a couple of business days, which, given our tight timeline, caused some minor internal anxiety. Overall, his command of administrative law in San Antonio and beyond was instrumental in resolving our high-stakes regulatory challenge.
