Our company faced significant regulatory hurdles in San Francisco concerning a legacy site with potential soil contamination, a situation complicated by our German parent company's involvement. We needed counsel who understood both the intricate local environmental law and the broader European regulatory context. Michael Körner was precisely that advisor. His deep expertise in environmental law and litigation, coupled with his recognized standing in public law, provided us with a strategic advantage from the outset. Michael expertly navigated the negotiations with state agencies, anticipating their concerns based on his extensive experience. His dual perspective—practicing in Cologne while handling our California issue—was invaluable in aligning our internal compliance across borders. The matter was resolved favorably without escalating to costly litigation, a testament to his proactive and nuanced approach. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved, reflecting the caliber of insight and professionalism he delivers.
