After 25 years in business, I thought I had seen every challenge, but navigating a recent land use and employment issue related to a planned expansion in Indianapolis was uniquely complex. We needed counsel who understood not just the law, but the intricate intersection of policy, economic development, and agriculture that our project touched. Mark Shublak was that attorney. His deep experience, including his recognition in Economic Development and Agriculture Law, was immediately apparent. He didn't just give legal advice; he crafted a strategic approach that addressed regulatory hurdles, potential employment concerns, and community relations simultaneously. His background in public affairs and traditional legal practice at Taft proved invaluable, allowing him to advocate effectively behind the scenes while preparing us impeccably for formal proceedings. Mark’s professionalism is matched by his practical, results-oriented mindset. He translated complex legal and policy landscapes into clear, actionable steps for our leadership team. The outcome was a fully approved project with stronger operational foundations than we started with. For any Indiana business facing multifaceted challenges where law meets public policy, Mark is the first and only call I will make.
