Administrative Law/Regulatory - Licensing, Permitting, and Certificating
Crowell & Moring attorneys have extensive experience representing a broad array of clients in wide range of matters relating to licensing, permitting, and certificating. This includes (1) assisting regulated individuals and entities in obtaining these important rights, (2) opposing entities who are seeking these rights, and (3) defending adverse actions against regulated individuals and entities, such as revocation, suspension, or the imposition of civil monetary penalties.
Licenses, approvals and authorizations include such things as radio frequency licenses, food and drug authorizations, health plan qualifications, mine plan approvals, mine permits, lifting Applicant Violator System permit blocks, and federal and state pesticide registrations.
When new owners acquire a regulated business or entities merge, we can help the new entity obtain the necessary license transfers and other regulatory approvals. In the energy area, C & M attorneys frequently assist companies seeking to obtain a certificate, as well as aiding competitors, customers or landowners who oppose the grant of a certificate to someone else. We have also provided assistance in drafting licensing laws and commenting on licensing regulations.
