Administrative Procedure Act (APA)

We advise and litigate matters involving the federal Administrative Procedure Act and state equivalents, including challenges to agency actions that exceed statutory authority, fail to follow required procedures, or cannot be sustained under applicable standards of review.

Compliance With Agency Rules and Advisory Opinions

We counsel clients on how agency rules, orders, guidance, and advisory opinions affect operations, political activity, reporting obligations, and day-to-day decision-making.

Government Investigations

When agencies issue notices, request documents, open inquiries, or increase scrutiny, we help clients respond strategically, preserve their position, and reduce avoidable exposure.

Defense in Contested Administrative Proceedings

We represent clients before agencies, hearing officers, and administrative law judges in contested matters where licenses, approvals, penalties, and important business interests are at stake.

Defense and Appeals

When an administrative matter results in an adverse ruling or proceeds to judicial review, we help build the record, preserve issues, and handle appeals with long-term consequences in mind.

Constitutional Challenges

We handle matters involving due process, free speech, separation of powers, equal protection, and related constitutional issues that arise when agencies or officials exceed lawful limits.

Licenses and Permit Disputes

We assist with applications, denials, renewals, suspensions, revocations, and related disputes involving professional, business, operational, and regulatory licenses and permits.

Campaign Finance, Government Ethics, and Political Activity

We advise campaigns, political committees, nonprofits, companies, and individuals on campaign finance, government ethics, lobbying, and related compliance obligations where administrative enforcement risks are real.

Open Records, Open Meetings, and Elections

We counsel clients on public-access requirements, election-related disputes, and transparency obligations where administrative rules intersect with political or governmental process.

Rulemaking and Legislative Engagement

We help clients respond to proposed rules, submit comments, testify before committees, and engage where legislative or regulatory change may materially affect operations or strategy.

Interagency Conflicts

We provide agency representation in administrative proceedings and facilitate negotiations between agencies to help our clients move forward and prevent further conflict. Our team has represented numerous government agencies across the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
