Administrative Proceedings

When we can help.

Inspections, notices of violation, and administrative decisions require a legal response grounded in facts, evidence, and procedural rules. We represent interests before public authorities and agencies, including in regulatory and tax matters.

• Responding to official notices, notices of violation, and inspections.
• Preparing defenses in enforcement proceedings and regulatory disputes.
• Challenging administrative decisions through the available remedies.
• Managing tax disputes in coordination with the case's tax analysis.

How we work.

A defense grounded in the record and the procedure.

The first step is to identify the challenged act, the competent authority, the procedural stage, and the measure's effects. Organizing the record and documentation helps establish the defense and the technical clarifications needed.

Administrative procedures vary by authority and subject matter. The relationship between administrative defenses, court measures, and possible settlements should be assessed before choosing a course of action.

In fiscal matters, administrative work is coordinated with Tax Litigation. In regulatory disputes, it connects with obligation mapping and risk management. This approach addresses each specialty while maintaining continuity across the case.
