Administrative & Regulatory Law
Sturgill Turner understands that professionals are constantly faced with new challenges, especially in today’s complex regulatory environment. Our deep experience with regulatory agencies and public administration means we understand first-hand the intricate and ever-changing laws and policies professionals must follow, and how to defend individuals and entities when faced with accusations of policy violations or denied licensure.
Our administrative law attorneys work hard to minimize the disruption these hearings can have on our clients’ ability to effectively run a business, maintain their career, and serve the community. With the institutional expertise of Carmine Iaccarino, former General Counsel of the Kentucky Public Protection Cabinet and General Counsel to the Kentucky Attorney General, our Administrative & Regulatory Law group brings exceptional qualifications to their work with individuals and entities appearing before regulatory agencies, as well as working with clients to affect Kentucky regulatory change.
administrative hearings
Time is of the essence when individuals or businesses are faced with compliance issues or accused of a violation of agency regulations. Our experience from within the administrative system, our contacts within the system, and unique background on the enforcement side, enable us to anticipate questions that can arise during these hearings, and provide clients with the best options for their defense.
Statutory and regulatory compliance
Applying administrative regulations and laws to your business, and ensuring compliance with those statutes, is critical to smooth operations. Our approach is two-pronged: protect and prevent. With first-hand experience drafting legislation, legislative amendments, and administrative regulations, we have the deep knowledge and experience to help companies and organizations:
Analyze and understand how state and federal regulations may affect your operations
Obtain rulings from administrative agencies when necessary
Provide input on proposed legislation
Navigate administrative agencies, and
Challenge or defend in litigation when there are questions of constitutionality or how a particular regulation applies.
Professional licensure defense
More than 30 percent of Americans in 1,000+ professions are required to have a license or certification to do their work. Disciplinary allegations or denial of a professional or business license affects both your livelihood and the life of your business. Sturgill Turner’s administrative law expertise makes us well-equipped to navigate state licensing boards. Whether you are a physician, nurse, physical therapist, landscape architect—or anything in between—we have the skills and experience to represent you when you need it most.
