Administrative Law

Experienced Representation in Administrative Law for Individuals and Businesses Across Maryland

Administrative law encompasses the rules, regulations, and laws set by state and federal regulatory agencies. Once the legislature passes a bill and the government signs it into law, often an administrative body is created to administer the law.  Violations or non-compliance with these regulations can have severe consequences, including significant fines or the loss of professional licenses. It is critical for individuals and businesses to fully understand their regulatory obligations, as compliance can often be highly complex. Alexander & Cleaver, P.A. proudly represents clients throughout Maryland, providing guidance on licensing, compliance, and disciplinary matters before administrative agencies. We understand the serious implications of non-compliance issues and work as dedicated partners to help our clients achieve favorable outcomes.

Decades of Experience in Licensing and Compliance Matters

With over 80 years of collective experience, our attorneys have represented numerous individuals, professionals, and businesses before various regulatory boards and commissions.

Trusted Advocates for Individuals in Licensing and Compliance Matters

Many professionals require licensing to practice their occupation, including medical providers, contractors, physical therapists, pharmacists, and commercial drivers. A license is essential, and any alleged violation can jeopardize one’s career. Our firm has a strong history of representing licensed professionals in regulatory matters, often achieving favorable outcomes without the need for a full hearing, which can save our clients time and expense. Our experience includes successfully resolving cases at the Case Resolution Conference stage, as well as at hearings when necessary.

Comprehensive Representation for Businesses in Regulatory Matters

Our attorneys have over six decades of experience working with businesses on regulatory and licensing issues. We’ve assisted restaurants, hotels, liquor stores, and clubs with license applications, transfers, and defending alleged violations. We also handle appeals when necessary. Attorney Jason DeLoach currently serves as counsel to Prince George’s County Board of License Commissioners, which enforces Maryland’s alcoholic beverage laws, and also represents one of the largest national drugstore chains in licensing matters.
