Administrative & Regulatory

Overview

Florida is a highly regulated state, with unique procedural and substantive rules governing its state agencies, their authority and the ability to challenge their actions.  We have experience helping clients navigate through state actions, as well as actions taken at the local and federal levels.

Rule Challenges and Rule Making

We represent clients affected by a government agency’s rules or policies. Our team routinely engages with federal, state, and local government offices throughout Florida to help effectuate a non-litigated resolution. Our Tallahassee attorneys, with a physical presence near state agency decision-makers, routinely assist in developing preventative and proactive measures to help mitigate our clients’ complex business problems. In the event an informal resolution cannot be found, our administrative litigation team has experience challenging agency rules and policies. 

Contesting Agency Action

Our administrative litigation team assists clients after an agency or local government has taken, or intends to take, action affecting the client’s interests. We have experience representing clients in matters involving licensure and discipline, bid protests and procurement, zoning challenges, Medicaid overpayment disputes, permitting, and enforcement, among other issues.
