Administrative/Regulatory Law
 South Carolina has recognized the need to develop a more business-friendly environment to attract and retain industry and entrepreneurial investments in the state. Turner Padget's business clients operate in a world of complex governmental regulations, both state and federal, that often determine the level of success that their business operations can achieve. Our attorneys are frequently often called upon to represent our business clients before Administrative Law Judges, licensing officials and various agencies that control and permit business activity.
Our attorneys assist our clients in the following ways.
- Developing business plans that comply with governmental regulations, licensing requirements and other regulatory considerations.
- Serving as lobbyists to advocate legislative and regulatory change on our clients behalf.
- Communicating the latest rulings, legislative changes and regulatory rulings in the governmental arena.
