Steptoe's Government & Regulatory Litigation Practice Group specializes in civil litigation and investigations involving federal, state and local governments, inclusive of governmental agencies and subdivisions. Building on Steptoe's deep regulatory expertise, our litigators are extremely well-positioned to guide regulated businesses and industries through the minefield of government-related and regulatory litigation.
What we do:

We regularly advise clients on regulatory compliance and represent clients in enforcement actions. Representative matters include:

In the wake of the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo Supreme Court decision, which eliminated Chevron deference, regulated companies should have greater latitude to challenge agency action.
