Expertise in administrative law is increasingly vital as regulation by the state impacts much of the economy and most facets of our lives.  Gudmundseth Mickelson is a leading firm in this area.  We bring and respond to judicial reviews, statutory appeals, tribunal proceedings, and related litigation involving public bodies, regulators, boards, statutory decision-makers, professional organizations, non-profit societies, sport governing bodies, and others.

Administrative law is a set of rules governing our relationship with the state.  Expertise in those rules is critical.  We understand how to determine limits of authority, whether the process was fair, whether the record supports the result, and what remedy is realistically available from the court.  These matters require early judgment. We help clients identify whether the decision turns on jurisdiction, procedural fairness, statutory interpretation, evidentiary foundation, reasons, or the applicable standard of review. From there, we build the strategy around the argument most likely to succeed.

Our experience includes highly complex applications for judicial review, statutory appeals, and tribunal hearings.  We also provide legal opinions on matters of administrative law, including the interpretation of statutes and the extent of public powers. 

Gudmundseth Mickelson assists clients before decisions are made, during tribunal proceedings, and on review or appeal. We bring the record into focus, frame the legal issue clearly, and pursue the remedy that best serves your objective.
