Perspective on Practice

Government decision-makers seek to serve the public interest and to balance the interests of all stakeholders.

Regulated industry clients must understand and articulate how their individual position relates to the public interest and impacts other parties. Sanford Law Office is uniquely equipped to assist industry clients in North Carolina to:

• Understand regulatory opportunities and barriers

• Frame positions & structure arguments to show how the public interest and the client’s goals align

• Help communicate a vision of the public interest and of balance in the decision, consistent with the client’s position

Sanford Law Office, PLLC brings to every engagement a sense of the support required for your position. We work with your team to advance positions that are strengthened through alignment with regulatory principles.

“For 20 years I proudly represented consumers and the State of North Carolina. For over 11 years I was privileged to serve as a member of the North Carolina Utilities Commission—including a decade as its Chair. I now represent clients in the private sector who deploy vital investment and provide critical service. My purpose as a lawyer is to work with integrity to advance principled positions, believing that regulators, regulated companies and customers all are best served by skillful and informed advocacy.”
