Our administrative law attorneys offer broad experience advising local governments and their officials on North Carolina law. We are highly skilled in counseling local governments, administrative bodies, businesses and individuals on a wide range of issues — including contract bidding, employment and OSHA issues, asset exchanges, open meeting law, economic incentives, annexation, bond financing, healthcare, environmental, permitting, land use, and zoning issues.
We guide clients through bureaucratic processes, while avoiding potential liabilities. If matters escalate, we have experience representing our clients at administrative hearings and state and federal litigation.
