Administrative Law
Everett Gaskins Hancock regularly provides advice and assistance to help businesses and individuals negotiate their way through the thickets of governmental rules and regulations – especially those imposed and enforced by North Carolina’s licensing boards and regulatory agencies. Whether dealing with governmental contract, tax issues or professional licensing matters, our lawyers can provide experience, sound guidance and effective advocacy.
In recent years, Ed Gaskins has represented lawyers, engineers and other licensed professionals in disciplinary and licensure proceedings before many of North Carolina’s occupational licensing boards, including the North Carolina State Bar, the Board of Law Examiners, the Board of Nursing, the Board of Architecture, the Appraisal Board and the General Contractors Board.
As a result of the Firm’s expertise in issue advocacy, lobbying and litigation, we are able to provide our clients with a wide range of strategies for resolving administrative issues – including, when necessary, collateral challenges in state or federal court. We stand ready to assist our clients, regardless of whether the ultimate resolution involves an evidentiary hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings, a change in the law or administrative code, or litigation against a licensing board or regulatory agency.
