Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice

Government regulation at all levels has a profound impact on property owners, land developers, construction projects and business operations. Regulatory and enforcement actions by agencies such as local housing authorities, planning boards, the EPA, IRS, the CFPB, and countless other local, state, and federal agencies can impose substantial costs, prevent business opportunities, and on occasion bar construction or land development projects entirely.

The legal constraints on government action do not rely solely on the particular agency in question, but also on general principles of administrative law, such as what constitutes an overbroad delegation of power to an agency; was the agency action “arbitrary and capricious”; is notice and a hearing (due process) required; is judicial review available; does the appealing party have standing; is the matter ripe and if so, how will the application of “Chevron” deference likely effect the outcome on appeal.

Given these considerations, it takes a highly skilled attorney to challenge a government administration in Massachusetts. The lawyers at Calabrese Law Associates thoroughly understand the legal principles governing both state and federal administrative agencies. This is critical to a successful challenge to an adverse agency decision or the successful defense of a favorable agency decision.
