Expert Guidance Through a Complex Environmental Compliance Issue

Our manufacturing company faced a daunting and potentially costly environmental compliance challenge following a regulatory inspection. The findings were complex, involving both remediation concerns and potential OSHA-related workplace safety citations. We were referred to Peter McGrath at Moore & Van Allen, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, Peter’s deep knowledge of North Carolina environmental law and his practical experience spanning over a decade were immediately evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the regulatory landscape, the agency's likely perspective, and crafted a proactive, multi-faceted strategy. Peter guided us through a meticulous response, negotiating with regulators to not only achieve a favorable remediation plan but also to successfully contest the more severe safety citations. His calm, methodical approach turned a crisis into a manageable process. Seeing his recognition as Charlotte's 'Lawyer of the Year' in Environmental Litigation wasn't a surprise—it’s a testament to the caliber of attorney he is. Peter is exceptionally sharp, thoroughly professional, and genuinely invested in his clients' success. We are deeply grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to any business navigating environmental or occupational safety legal matters.
