Administrative Law
The law firm of Bernfeld DeMatteo and Bernfeld has vast experience with New York ongoing compliance issues and administrative law hearings before government agencies and administrative law judges.
Administrative law encompasses laws and legal principles governing the administration and regulation of city, county, state and federal government agencies involving:
- Rules
- Regulations
- Applications
- Licenses
- Permits
- Available information
- Hearings
- Appeals and decision-making
Having an administrative law attorney is essential because the rules and regulations are often special for each administrative agency and are not usually found in state or federal statutes but in the regulations governing the agencies. Administrative law is broken into several interrelated parts:
- Administrative rules
- Regulations and procedures for government agencies and bodies
- The scope of agency authority, particularly individual privacy
- Enforcement powers of agencies
Governmental agencies must act within Constitutional parameters. These and other limits are in statutes such as the Federal Administrative Procedure Act and state analogs. Bernfeld DeMatteo and Bernfeld is well versed in the requirements of the Federal Administrative Procedure Act, and experienced with such issues as:
- Business and economic regulation
- Industry restructuring and deregulation
- Contracting and project development
- Trade regulation
- Legislative consultation
- Lobbying registration
- Reporting requirements
