With more than three decades of combined environmental regulatory and consulting experience, Pejman brings a seasoned perspective to the investigation, remediation, and risk-based closure of sites formerly impacted by petroleum, chlorinated solvents, and metals. Pejman takes a “go slow to go fast” approach to environmental challenges; he collaborates with clients to truly understand their needs and goals, then teams with Haley & Aldrich experts across the country to find the right solutions. Pejman also draws on his insights as a former regulator to advocate on behalf of clients, developing cost-effective, innovative approaches that fit within the regulatory framework.
Pejman’s versatility in applying federal and state laws has qualified him to serve as an expert witness in technical and administrative hearings, as well as in negotiations on behalf of clients with federal and state agencies. The governor of Arizona also selected him to serve as the chair of the Arizona Underground Storage Tank Technical Appeals Panel. Within Haley & Aldrich, Pejman appreciates opportunities to mentor more staff members, both in the field and in the office, nurturing the next generation of company leaders.
“There are many ways one can get from point A to point B, and a conventional solution may not fully consider a client’s diverse financial, social, and regulatory needs. I love working with clients to identify the critical success factors that define their parameters for a project. Armed with this understanding, it’s much easier to find viable — and perhaps unconventional — solutions.
