MARES LEGAL:
Environmental Compliance and Transactional Business Law
PRACTICE
AREAS
INDUSTRIAL STORM WATER COMPLIANCE
Having managed compliance for hundreds of industrial facilities and conducted over 1,000 site inspections, I understand the Industrial General Storm Water Permit requirements inside and out. I can provide guidance on best practices, regulatory updates, and strategies to reduce the risk of agency enforcement and third-party liability.
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
From contract drafting to lease negotiations, the legal details are handled so you can focus on running your business. Whether you need assistance with service agreements, employment contracts, NDAs, or third-party negotiations, contracts are structured to protect your company.
REGULATORY BUSINESS STRATEGY
My real-world experience as an executive within a regulatory based field equips me to work with your business to align internal operations with regulatory frameworks to achieve compliance, maintain efficiency, navigate challenges, and implement proactive compliance strategies.
CLEAN WATER ACT CITIZEN SUITS
Non-Compliance with the General Permit can result in Clean Water Act based citizen enforcement actions against Industrial facilities. For over a decade as an environmental consultant, I provided compliance consulting to over 150 businesses faced with these types of citizen suits. I can explain the process of these actions and efficiently navigate the settlement process.
STRATEGIC BUSINESS COUNSEL
Making the right business decisions requires both strategic and legal insight. I can advise on employee matters, policy development, regulatory compliance, and everyday decision-making from a business and legal perspective having been an executive of an environmental consulting firm for over a decade.
RISK MANAGEMENT & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Business risks come in many forms. I can help clients identify and mitigate risks before they become costly and, if disputes arise, I can provide practical, effective resolution strategies to protect client interests while minimizing costly disruptions to your business.
