Administrative Law
<%' page content %> Representing clients before federal, state, city, and county levels of government.

We have recognized experience in the laws and rules that govern administrative agencies, which include many governmental entities that create and enforce laws and regulations pertaining to everything from employing people and providing welfare benefits to issuing regulatory permits and licenses. We represent clients in their dealings with all levels of administrative agencies, as well as before state and federal courts.
How we can help
Administrative agencies, whether federal, state or local, make myriad decisions that can dramatically affect you or your entity's rights and responsibilities. For example, the decision by the State Education Department to grant or refuse a license to operate a school; an audit of a not-for-profit corporation by a regulatory agency can have a significant impact on your life or business. We help to prevent these issues. We help to resolve these issues.

If you find yourself involved in a matter before an administrative agency, or an administrative law court, we strongly recommended that you contact us. Your chances of a successful outcome without experienced representation may be significantly diminished.

Our Process
We are trained and skilled at all administrative processes and litigation before many administrative agencies and the courts. However, we also focus on preventive risk management and careful long range planning when dealing with any administrative matter. This approach allows our clients to avoid adverse administrative actions and other administrative roadblocks and pitfalls from the outset.
Our Specialty
We specialize in labor and education administrative law. We represent a wide range of public, private, and commercial clients, including colleges, schools and school districts, administrators, teachers, unions and union members, and health care institutions.
Our Advantage
Unlike most firms, we practice administrative law on a full-time basis; we have extensive experience in every aspect of administrative law. At any point in time, our firm has multiple matters pending before such administrative agencies as the United States Education Department, New York State Education Department, New York City Board of Education, United States Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, NYS Division of Human Rights, and NYC Human Rights. This daily interaction with a wide variety of agencies permits us to stay current with administrative rules, regulations and procedures, which vary significantly from agency to agency.

Additionally, with over twenty years practicing administrative law, we have well-developed relationships and contacts with many administrative officers and agents. With this insider access, we can often cut through the red tape that impedes administrative processes, enabling us to handle any administrative matter more quickly and efficiently.

Please remember: In most administrative agencies, there are strict deadlines for filing claims or requesting hearings. If you think you have a claim or a right to a hearing, it is important that you bring the matter to our attention as soon as possible.

  • National Labor Relation Bureau (NLRB)
