REGULATED INDUSTRIES LITIGATION
  • ResnickLaw attorneys have are highly experienced in representing clients whose businesses intersect with complex federal, state and local regulatory frameworks.  Frequently, litigation in regulated industries differs in both scope and depth from other commercial disputes.  Unlike commercial litigation between private actors, controversies in regulated industries often include exposure to regulatory liability to governmental agencies, which can include substantial penalties, fines and licensing implications.  At times, conduct which in other business areas would remain purely civil can implicate criminal liability as well.  In addition, class action liability can often result when aspects of a dispute become the subject of required public disclosures.  For this kind of litigation, clients require counsel experienced enough to guide the dispute through the regulatory maze, and position the case for optimal results, taking into account the potential regulatory impact on the client’s business.  RLL attorneys have represented clients in litigation in the telecommunications industry, in industries utilizing HIPPA protected data, in pharmacy operations, in aviation, in regulated housing and urban redevelopment, and in broadcasting.  They are familiar with regulatory frameworks administered by the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, various state Boards of Pharmacy, state Public Utility Commissions, HIPPA, and Medicare and Medicaid health care related operations.  For clients operating in these environments, RLL delivers the kind of thoughtful and experienced representation necessary to bring disputes to a favorable resolution.
