Administrative & Regulatory

Federal, state, and local administrative agencies regulate nearly every aspect of business and professional life. Attorneys with experience navigating the regulatory environment can help a business accomplish its goals while guarding against violating federal, state, or local regulations. State of Oregon agencies are represented by lawyers at the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ). Familiarity with DOJ and its policies helps when negotiating settlements or litigating legal issues. And if an agency begins an investigation or enforcement proceeding, an administrative law lawyer can help to protect the rights of the business or person.

The lawyers at O’Connor Weber LLP are experts in administrative and regulatory law. They can help a business determine the rules that apply and advise the business on regulatory compliance. They are also experienced in litigating cases against administrative agencies, both before the agencies themselves and on appeal. Our knowledge of administrative law and experience in litigation can help provide clients with comprehensive representation when planning for the future or when defending against an agency’s enforcement action.
