Tax Law
Real Estate Law
For the last four decades, our firm has provided specialized legal counsel to help our regulated clients address regulatory requirements, roadblocks, and reviews. Our Regulatory & Compliance Practice Group includes former state and federal government employees who have long-standing working relationships with regulators and other government agencies. Our regulatory work dovetails with our Government Relations Team’s relationships in state government. If the firm is unable to resolve client issues through conciliation with a particular government agency, we are experienced in litigating matters at administrative agency hearings and in court, if necessary.
We are skilled at advocating for client interests in a way that maintains ongoing good relations with regulators.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Department of Financial Regulation has several divisions: Banking, Insurance, Securities and Captives. Each division has a deputy commissioner. Unlike many state government agencies, it has its own attorneys that report to the General Counsel, rather than embedded Assistant Attorney Generals. Our firm has good working relationships with each division and attorney.
Generally, the Department affords regulated entities with an administrative hearing and appeal to the Commissioner before a regulatory decision is final.
The Attorney General’s office investigates and prosecutes civil claims on a variety of issues, which our firm can help you navigate and defend, including civil rights, Medicaid fraud & abuse, prescribed product gift bans, telemarketing fraud, debt adjustment, credit reporting, lending practices, environmental protection, antitrust, and consumer fraud.
Contact counsel first, who can then inquire with the Assistant Attorney General who issued the subpoena.
