V&C offers experience in preventing conflicts that could arise in practice with those receiving environmental reports or administrative requests. And, should they arise, handling conflicts in a way that resolves any immediate crisis while protecting the long-term best interests of the client.

Conflicts arise in various contexts. A conflict may threaten a project because a government agency denies or revokes some official authorization to which the client is fairly entitled, for example. Often, through careful analysis, thorough documentation, and formal ministrations, we can achieve the client’s objective by subtly educating the public official on his or her proper role under the law. This saves time and resources. So, at the outset, we take into consideration an agency’s possible lack of familiarity with its role or, flat out, its propensity to misapply the law. We help the client to avoid a clash that may bear on the client’s objective.

For a client who comes to us after such a clash has occurred, we know how to prepare the documentation that allows us to reframe the dynamic and resolve the issue. Accuracy in the technical analysis and documentation is just as crucial for informed decision-making as is sharp legal analysis and drafting. We have the skills and experience to raise the bar in confronting an adversary. Our side’s example in accuracy and transparency evinces a strategic advantage. The client exudes confidence. The adversary becomes more amenable to a fair settlement.

V&C offers practical solutions based on a comprehensive analysis that ensure maximum viability for the client’s business plan.
