When regulators come calling, are you ready?
We represent individuals and businesses in licensing, disciplinary, regulatory and legislative matters before Oklahoma and federal agencies, boards and commissions. Whether a client has received notice of an investigation or hearing, needs a license to begin operating in Oklahoma or is seeking action from government decision makers, we step in quickly to explain the process and define the next move. Our lawyers combine extensive administrative law experience with long-standing relationships across state government and at the Capitol. We stay close, respond promptly, and help clients move confidently from uncertainty toward the strongest available outcome.
The experience needed when your license is on the line
Clients often call us after receiving a letter requiring them to appear before a licensing board or agency. The situation can feel unfamiliar and deeply personal, particularly when a professional license or livelihood is at risk. We listen, explain what to expect and stand beside our clients through each stage of the matter, putting them at ease and carrying the burden for them. We regularly represent Oklahoma-based professionals and businesses as well as out-of-state companies in matters involving:
- Professional license applications, renewals and other licensure matters
- Agency investigations, negotiations, disciplinary proceedings and hearings
- Regulatory questions affecting an individual, professional practice or business operation
- Can we have a link somewhere in here to Libby’s video – this speaks well to this section

We know how agencies think
Our team includes lawyers who previously served in government and as prosecutors for professional licensing boards. That perspective, together with established relationships among agency personnel, board members, legislators, and other decision makers, helps us understand what matters to regulators, how each agency approaches a case and how to put clients in the best possible position. As a founding member of State Law Resources, a national network of independent law firms selected for their administrative, regulatory and government relations capabilities, we can also connect clients with experienced counsel when a matter extends beyond Oklahoma.
