Administrative Law

Butler Snow’s Administrative Law practice combines numerous substantive areas of legal expertise with the common element of regulatory know-how to achieve maximum results for our clients.  Butler Snow lawyers regularly represent clients at the administrative level of state government by appearing before numerous state boards, commissions and agencies and actually represent a number of state boards and commissions.  Some of the entities we regularly appear before on behalf of private clients include:

• Mississippi State Department of Health
• Mississippi Insurance Commission
• Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality
• Mississippi Public Service Commission

We have represented clients before numerous state boards including:

• Board of Nursing
• Board of Pharmacy
• Board of Architecture
• Board of Medical Licensure
• Board of Cosmetology

We represent the Mississippi State Board of Contractors as well as the Mississippi Wireless Communication Commission.

Butler Snow lawyers understand the regulatory maze and have the knowledge and experience to help clients make their way through efficiently and effectively. As an added benefit to clients, our lawyers have developed relationships over the years with many who work in the regulatory area.

While we have extensive experience and contacts at the state administrative level, an important component of our administrative practice is the representation we provide at the local administrative level.  Having represented the Mississippi Association of Supervisors for over 25 years, our lawyers have worked with many of the counties in the State of Mississippi as well as municipalities and other local officials on a variety of administrative matters ranging from elections to zoning.
