GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
Maine's state and local policy makers, both elected officials and governmental employees, generally want to help businesses. Our experience shows that these individuals, properly informed, can become effective business advocates.
We understand Maine state and local government and have helped to develop legislative and regulatory solutions for our clients at both levels. We have represented many clients for regulatory enforcement issues such as OSHA citations, professional licensing issues, workers’ compensation audits, insurance rate making, etc. Our advocacy is not limited to adversarial situations. In evaluating clients' legal problems, we assess the possibility of forging solutions in concert with government representatives. Whether your business challenge requires legislative initiatives, regulatory amendments, or negotiation with municipal officials, we can help make government part of the solution.
