As counselors, we look for ways to prevent problems before they occur, and we often help turn potential compliance issues into opportunities. While unraveling a compliance problem, we look for the root cause and try to resolve both the problem at hand and the underlying cause so that history does not repeat itself. When we approach a permitting issue, we don’t just look at the clients’ business today, but what it might become tomorrow, so that business objectives align, rather than conflict with, environmental requirements.
