ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND LICENSING

Professionals often spend years obtaining the necessary education and credentials to earn professional licensing and/or certification. If a license or certification is in jeopardy, the career, livelihood and professional reputation of the licensee may be at risk. It is important to work with an experienced lawyer to protect your future. Jimerson Birr’s administrative law and licensing lawyers have intimate knowledge of state licensure boards and rulemaking authorities. When facing a government agency, you need lawyers who understand what is at stake and can either work with government or challenge it. We take this role seriously because what is often at stake is our client’s business and livelihood. 

Jimerson Birr attorneys who perform administrative law and licensing services will collaborate with other attorneys in the firm to address the procedural and substantive issues of your case. Whether your administrative law and licensing case involves one area of law or many, an administrative lawyer is an important member of the team who clarifies issues, assesses regulatory concerns and weighs legal risks. In the end, experience and analytical thinking lead to smart decisions that can protect your business and improve it. Our team aims to add value in assisting clients obtain licensure, maintain licensure, and mitigate suspensions, revocations or discipline that restricts licensure.
