Administrative Law
Administrative agencies, which are agencies of the state and federal governments, are often vested with rule-making authority. It is this ruling-making authority that gives rise to a myriad of rules and regulations created by these agencies — these rules and regulations are commonly referred to as “administrative laws.”
Today, administrative laws affect virtually every aspect of business and everyday life. These administrative laws can take effect with little notice, and the changes can be drastic. Calabrese Law Associates leverages its government, administrative, and legislative experience to properly advise clients of all administrative laws that may affect them, their businesses, and construction or real estate development projects.
The firm’s administrative law attorneys understand the function and limitations of government agencies, and it is this knowledge that Calabrese Law Associates utilizes to achieve the best possible result for its clients in Boston and throughout Massachusetts.

Appeal of Admin Agency Decisions
Calabrese Law Associates leverages its appeals litigation expertise and administrative law practice to effectively represent client through the complicated process of appealing an administrative agency decision. Administrative agencies, which are agencies of the state and federal government, can have rule-making authority to implement regulations that control specific sectors of society. In the wake of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, their power has been curtailed and determining the extent of their authority can be complex. It’s often best to consult with a specialist when navigating decisions from administrative agencies.
This web of regulations overlaps with state and federal law. This creates a situation where, generally, a person/business cannot appeal a government agency decision to a court of law except when the following apply:
- The government agency issues a final decision and
- The person/business appeals the decision with the agency itself.
Generally, only after all inter-agency appeal options are exhausted may a person/business file an appeal with a court of law. To learn more about the importance of an attorney for appealing admin agency decisions, see how our attorneys can ease the implications of an appeal.
Legislation and Compliance
Legislation and compliance services involve helping businesses ensure their processes and operations comply with relevant laws. Compliance with the rules, procedures, and policies requires companies to have a comprehensive understanding of how they apply to their organization. A company’s compliance process might look like having procedures and policies based on the legislation, keeping detailed compliance audit records, and maintaining evidence that they take responsibility for compliance.
Regulatory law attorneys help businesses navigate evolving Massachusetts regulations to ensure legal compliance and mitigate risk. Calabrese Law Associates has extensive experience in regulatory compliance and helps companies identify practices that may lead to violations. Our attorneys also provide suggestions for procedures that may address these issues and prevent the violation. If you’re in need of legislation and compliance assistance, consider speaking with our government law attorneys in Boston.
Residential and Commercial Construction Regulations
In Massachusetts and throughout the United States, owners must follow particular procedures when starting construction projects. Federal law and regulations include a carefully mapped-out process that must be followed during and before the construction process.
These rules differ depending on the nature of the company’s project. For instance, commercial projects may follow a different set of requirements compared to residential projects. There are also regulations for lenders, such as land use limits. It can be beneficial to work with construction law attorneys who have experience navigating Boston’s zoning, permitting, and regulatory requirements. Doing so may help you stay informed about these differences and requirements.
Our construction lawyers at Calabrese Law Associates in the Greater Boston Area help clients manage complex regulations that impact Massachusetts construction projects and contractors. You can ensure your project stays within the right guidelines by working with construction attorneys who can guide you.
