Administrative Law 
All of our practice areas are accretive to each other. This is particularly true of our administrative law practice. We bring to this unique practice area the same rigorous substantive and procedural expertise that defines our litigation and appellate practices. We regularly handle matters before a variety of administrative agencies and bodies. We practice under the Florida and federal administrative procedure acts (both collectively the “APA”). We also routinely practice before commissions, boards, and bodies not subject to the APA. Furthermore, we frequently practice before special magistrates, hearing officers, and the legislative arms of local government that have been delegated specific administrative decision-making authority.
Sub-Practice Areas
State Administrative Proceedings
We litigate administrative proceedings subject to Florida’s Administrative Procedures Act and within the jurisdiction of Florida’s Division of Administrative Hearings (“DOAH”). Within this space, we focus on matters relating to comprehensive planning, water management, environmental permitting, and regulated industries.
Federal Administrative Proceedings
We litigate matters subject to the federal Administrative Procedures Act – including environmental and land use issues that arise under the Clean Water Act the (“CWA”), and the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”).
Other Administrative Proceedings
We regularly handle a wide variety of administrative matters before units of government not subject to either the state or federal APA. This practice area includes matters relating to historic preservation that are heard by special magistrates with technical expertise in preservation, building and development issues before technical boards with subject matter expertise in construction, permitting, and development issues.
