Administrative law protects the rights of corporations and individuals who must appear before boards, tribunals and arbitrators. Administrative law governs the powers and processes of administrative agencies, providing a course of action for those aggrieved by a government ruling. There are several interrelated aspects to Administrative law including: administrative rules, regulations and procedures for government agencies and bodies; the scope of agency authority, in particular individual privacy; and enforcement powers of agencies. Administrative law comes from several sources:

• Executive branch agencies including the Department of Treasury, Department of Transportation, and the Department of Justice
• State agencies such as the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources, the ABC Commission, the Real Estate Commission, and the Department of Revenue.

These agencies have the authority to inspect private entities or operations, conduct studies, adjudicate and prosecute regulatory violations. Our firm counsels clients on interpretation of regulations, provides advice on investigations, and works to ensure compliance with requirements.

Since administrative agencies lie at the heart of all public-law subjects, our firm represents clients in all aspects of federal, state and local regulation. The firm addresses issues including:

• Taxation
• Licensing 
• Transportation 
• Insurance 
• Banking 
• Employment 
• Education 
• Health care 
• Legislative affairs 
• Workers' compensation
