The subjects of interaction between individuals and legal entities with public authority can include:
- Licensing procedures — obtaining a driver’s license, business activity license, certification, etc.
- Control and supervisory processes — inspections, reporting.
- Recording of legally significant facts — obtaining certificates, registration, drafting of acts and protocols of events.
- Regulation of public processes — issuing regulatory acts.
- Application of administrative coercion (when it comes to fulfilling obligations).
- Internal organization of public authorities, civil service, and delineation of powers between different institutions.
- Investigation of administrative offenses and implementation of related responsibilities.
- Appealing against actions, inaction, and decisions of public authorities.
If an individual or legal entity is involved in any of these procedures (or plans to be), we can provide the necessary assistance.
What issues do people contact us about
Our specialists in administrative law can protect individuals and legal entities from abuse of power and exceeding official authority towards them, achieve authoritative decisions in favor of clients, obtain necessary documents, etc. Lawyers working with administrative cases resolve issues related to the violation of citizens’ electoral rights, misuse of administrative resources, and exceeding the powers of local self-government and state bodies. However, a significant number of problems which our clients face, involve administrative offenses committed by them. In such cases, authorities often exceed established procedures, insufficiently justify decisions, ignore reasonable arguments, or act meticulously.
Such actions lead to the need to appeal:
- Decisions on bringing to justice for administrative offenses (for example, in cases of non-compliance with traffic rules);
- Inspection reports of supervisory authorities (fire, tax, financial inspections, etc.), their orders to prohibit activities;
- Interim measures in cases of administrative offenses (search, personal inspection, seizure of things, etc.);
- Inaction, unreasonable refusals to satisfy the rights and legitimate interests of individuals and legal entities by state bodies, local self-government, and employees;
- Decisions, actions and inactions of the executive service in cases involving the client.
