Assisting clients with passing or blocking legislation and regulations

The operations of businesses can be significantly affected by government regulation, federal and state agencies’ enforcement actions, and public procurement decisions. Moreover, various business needs and strategies often require governmental approval. The ability to successfully navigate the legislative and administrative process, challenge a government agency’s action, or advocate for a favorable decision requires a thorough understanding of government relations, administrative law, and the applicable federal and state legal guidelines and requirements. Barber Law Firm’s Governmental Relations and Lobbying practice combines numerous substantive areas of legal expertise with the common element of legislative and regulatory know-how to achieve maximum results for our clients by working with federal and state legislatures and administrative agencies and challenging regulatory decisions when necessary.

Our Government Relations and Administrative Law team regularly represents clients at the administrative level of state government by appearing before numerous state boards, commissions, and agencies. Our attorneys are well-versed in representing clients at enforcement actions in federal and state court. Our group also appears before agencies on behalf of clients at the rulemaking stage to present evidence and raise persuasive arguments in favor of our clients, thereby preserving a record for judicial review of the final rule.

Barber Law Firm attorneys understand the legislative and regulatory maze and have the knowledge and experience to assist clients efficiently and effectively in their progression through the regulatory process.

We regularly represent clients before a wide array of state and local regulatory agencies in Arkansas and in other states that regulate a broad range of areas including health, environmental quality, public service, public utilities, energy, business and professional licensing, insurance, tax, commerce, transportation, motor vehicles, and wireless communications.
