Agency Interaction, Advocacy and Negotiation
Sonnenschein attorneys successfully represent business, individual, government, and institutional clients on environmental and natural resources matters before federal, state, provincial, tribal, and local government agencies throughout the United States and Canada. Highlighted in these pages are a number of the firm’s notable representations involving specific regulatory matters. Regulatory advocacy is a leading reason why clients with interests in virtually every area of government involvement, come to Sonnenschein for help.
Our regulatory advocacy is integrated with and strongly complements the firm’s litigation practice and our Public Law & Policy Strategies Group, a powerful force on Capitol Hill and throughout North America’s policy and political networks. With offices spanning the country and a major Washington presence, we represent clients before all relevant federal agencies and have championed clients’ cases before agencies in all 50 states, many regional and inter-state organizations, and at the provincial and federal levels in Canada.
We earn our reputation for success in regulatory matters by tailoring each representation to take productive advantage of the highly variable and often unique institutional cultures of different agencies. It is vital to know the law, but regulatory counsel needs to know a great deal more to win beyond the easiest of cases. We know agency officials and how they work. We make sure we understand both the written and un-written rules that will affect our clients’ interests. Many of our attorneys have served in federal and state government, some at the most senior levels, and we work hard to maintain the professional relationships that can be essential factors in winning for our clients. If you need help from a government agency, or you are concerned that an agency is acting, or failing to act, in a way that may harm your business, your property, your institutional mission, your family, or your principles, Sonnenschein is ready to help you.
