testimonials
Micronesian Shipping Commission.
We initially approached Blue Ocean Law to assist us with implementing international agreements executed by the governments of Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. We were extremely impressed by Julian's knowledge of international law and the rights and obligations of state parties to international agreements. Also, we wanted to engage a lawyer actually familiar with the Micronesian islands, and preferably one who was licensed in one or more of our three jurisdictions. We found that in Attorney Aguon. After close collaboration with stakeholders in both industry and government, Julian successfully devised an intergovernmental statutory framework that enables the Commission to more simply and uniformly regulate commercial ocean shipping.
Robert J. Weilbacher, Micronesian Shipping Comm. Washington Pacific Economic Development Group. Blue Ocean Law brings a highly strategic and commercially sound approach to its provision of legal consulting services. We engaged Julian at a time when our company won a contract with the government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to provide technical services relative to the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. Obamacare rolls out a very complex process for the implementation of its various mandates, which is even more complicated in the territories. In short, Julian was able to quickly hone in on the relevant legal issues, separating the wheat from the chaff so to speak, and provide sound legal advice that enabled us to timely satisfy our own contractual obligations. In my opinion, Julian has a very impressive ability to translate dense legal mandates into discrete and legible legal issues, and then resolve them.
