Regulatory

Government regulation has a profound impact on companies’ business operations and is integral to corporate strategic planning. Regulatory and enforcement actions by federal and state agencies can impose significant costs and in some cases completely shut down operations. Honigman’s Regulatory Department helps clients understand and navigate the complexity of government regulations impacting your business, including highly regulated industries such as cannabis, credit unions, gaming, health care, insurance and liquor. Our attorneys are experts in these fields, in many cases actively involved in drafting the applicable laws and regulations. The appropriate strategy for your company will vary. In many cases we can simply help navigate our clients through the regulatory system to obtain the necessary approvals and set up compliance plans going forward. In other cases, a court challenge may be necessary, or the best approach may involve further proceedings before the relevant agency or the legislature. In either case, a thorough understanding of the principles governing agency conduct and legislative process is essential. Honigman’s Regulatory Department is well versed in these principles and has an exceptional capacity to represent clients in this area. The group’s lawyers and lobbyists include many with high-level government experience and prior service in top legal, policy and enforcement positions within both state and federal agencies.
