Administrative Law/Regulatory - Responding to Dynamic Business Needs
As clients' needs change, so do Crowell & Moring LLP's responses to those needs. While traditional administrative rulemaking and counseling practice is still of critical importance to clients, regulatory "reinvention," changes in the world economy and the speed with which business is transacted require greater versatility in providing legal services and meeting the competitive needs of clients. C&M attorneys bring a wealth of legal and practical experience in such areas as:
- Transactional counseling, which, for example, has become at least as important for the energy industries as ratemaking
- Counseling in connection with the development of biotechnology products and regulatory efforts to bolster public trust in the new science
- Counseling in the legal implications of introducing new technology, including policy proceedings affecting the application of controls under the Copyright Act
- Assistance in merger/acquisition review, in due diligence review, and in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, license transfers, and the like
- Maximizing use of electronic media to obtain and analyze information, to file documents, and to assist clients in working through the regulatory requirements of establishing their own web sites and commencing e-business ventures
- Counseling in connection with global market access, including import/export controls, international standard-setting, and regulatory controls applicable in the European Union.
